On Thursday (25 May), The Ministry of Finance announced that a Rs 75 coin will be launched to commemorate the inauguration of the new Parliament building.
The ministry's notification states that the circular Rs 75 coin will have a 44mm diameter. It also announced that the coin will feature 'Parliament Complex' as inscription along with the new Parliament building's image on it.
While 25 parties, including 7 non-NDA parties, will attend the new Parliament building inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (28 May), 20 opposition parties have opted to boycott the occasion.
This launch is also significant as India also celebrates 75 years of its Independence under the 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' initiative of the Government.
