To mark 100 years of the University of Mysore, the India Government Mint issued special VIP coin sets for Heads of Departments and senior officials. High-quality ?5 coins were also struck exclusively for faculty members. As most coins remained within the university, only a small number ever reached the numismatic community. This limited circulation has made the coin exceptionally rare and highly sought-after by collectors. More than just a commemorative issue, it represents a century of academic excellence—making it a prized addition to any serious collection.
