So, let’s continue and add something to your surprise. In India, coins are produced mainly in four major cities. These cities are Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Kolkata.

For example, if a coin is being produced in Delhi, they will put a DOT mark on the coin under the year of issue of the coin. Like if the coin is produced in the year 2010, you will find a DOT (.) under the year 2010. And if the coin is produced in Mumbai, the production team will put a diamond mark under the issuing year of the coin. If the coin is from Hyderabad, it will have a Star on it and there will be no sign if it is being manufactured in Kolkata.
