₹200 Commemorative Coin Marks Pujya Mata Sahib Hasi Devi’s 200th Birth Anniversary

The ₹200 coin marking the 200th Birth Anniversary of Pujya Mata Sahib Hasi Devi adds a significant 2026 release to India’s commemorative coin calendar. President Droupadi Murmu released it on October 22 at Lok Bhavan in Raipur, Chhattisgarh. The ceremony connected the coin’s numismatic interest with the religious and community remembrance at its center.

For collectors, the confirmed details are a useful starting point: the denomination is ₹200, the occasion is Hasi Devi’s 200th birth anniversary, the release took place in Raipur, and the coin was minted by India Government Mint, Kolkata. The release is the 15th commemorative coin of 2026 from that mint. The source does not provide the coin’s dimensions, metal composition, weight, edge, design inscriptions, or mintage, so those details should be checked against the mint’s product information when it becomes available.

A ceremony with community representation

The gathering brought together Chhattisgarh’s Chief Minister, Vishnu Deo Sai, and Governor Ramen Deka, alongside Rajasthan Legislative Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani. Members of Parliament Shankar Lalwani, representing Indore, and Brijmohan Agrawal, representing Raipur, also attended, as did other dignitaries.

Religious and community representatives were present as well. The event took place in the presence of Pujya Saint Dr. Yudhishthirlal Sahib Ji, the ninth Peethadhish of Shadani Darbar. Other attendees named in the account include Saint Rajesh Mordia of Sant Kanwardham, Vinki Rughwani from Nagpur, Dr. Ram Jawaharani from Mumbai, and senior social worker Suresh Khatri from Delhi. They attended as representatives of the Sindhi community.

That range of attendees helps explain the event’s character: the coin honors a specific religious figure and anniversary, while the ceremony brought together people connected to religious institutions and the wider Sindhi community. For collectors documenting commemorative issues, the occasion and the people associated with it are part of the coin’s record, alongside its physical specifications and minting details.

From approval to release

Sudhir Lunawat of Bikaner, identified as a member of the numismatic fraternity, played a key part in bringing the coin to release. He was involved from the approval stage through to the ceremony. That account offers a glimpse of the work that can sit behind a commemorative issue: such releases involve both the institutional process and the people who help carry a proposal toward a finished coin. No further details of the approval timeline or design process have been supplied.

Collectors following the issue should keep the known facts distinct from details still to come. A ceremony and denomination do not establish whether the coin will be offered in a particular finish, included in a specific set, or produced in a stated quantity. Those points require confirmation from the mint’s listing or the coin itself. When examining a set, collectors can record the packaging and accompanying documentation, then compare the coin’s inscriptions and visible design with the mint’s published description once available.

Set bookings expected

Bookings for commemorative sets are expected to open soon through India Government Mint, Kolkata. The source does not give a booking date, price, set format, or quantity available. The current and upcoming bookings page is identified as the place where updates will appear, making it the practical reference for collectors waiting for sale information.

Until those details are posted, the release can be logged with its confirmed essentials: a ₹200 denomination, the 200th Birth Anniversary of Pujya Mata Sahib Hasi Devi, release in Raipur on October 22, 2026, and minting by India Government Mint, Kolkata. The next useful information for collectors will be the set listing and the mint’s specifications, which will make it easier to document the coin accurately and distinguish confirmed issue details from assumptions.
