5 RUPEES 150TH BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF LOKMANYA TILAK

In 2007, the RBI issued a 5 rupees commemorative coin honouring Bal Gangadhar Tilak. However, the lettering on the coin in Hindi mentioned Tilak as तिलकजी. Bal Gangadhar Tilak is never referred to as तिलकजी. Adding Ji at the end of the name is an Indian practice to show respect to the person (eg Gandhiji). At the inauguration of the coin at Delhi, the error was immediately brought to the notice of the authorities. Except for the low number of coins circulated on that day, no other such coins were circulated. Hence this coin became an error as well as rare coin of Republic of India.
