We all know that it was planned to issue the 5 rupee commemorative coin on August 1,2007 which marks freedom fighter
Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak's death anniversary but unfortunately, a mistake
in the embossed words upset that schedule and the mistake was the suffix 'Ji'
in Devanagari Legend after the name Tilak, which is used as suffix of respect.
Due to some unknown reason it was decided to remove the suffix "JI"
and to scrap away around 20 lakh tilaji legend bearing coins by the Reserve
Bank of India. The Figure '20,00,000' is an estimate which i extracted from a news
clipping. To view the original version of news click here
