The ministry of religious affairs says one coin would be high value commemorative coin while the other would be released into circulation.

The coins issued in 1957 to commemorate the 2500th Buddha Jayanthi, or the 2500th year of the Buddhist calendar, have become highly priced collector's items among numismatists now.


The Buddhist calendar starts with the passing away of the Lord Bhudda which is known as Parinirvana or eternal bliss by the Lord Buddha.

One of the new commemorative coins to be issued this year would have a value of Rs2550.
