Special edition Sachin Tendulkar silver coins, with his face,
name and signature embossed on them, will be launched here on March 14 in the
presence of the Indian cricket legend himself.
Valuemart Gold & Jewels and Diamond India will launch
15,921 coins, corresponding to the number of runs that the batting maestro
scored in Tests during his glittering 24-year international career between 1989
and 2013.The special edition coins would also have the batting icon’s name at
the top, 200th Test match-2013 written below, where his face is engraved, and
“ST” logo, as per the details in the invite issued for the launch function.
The coins, minted in 200gm silver, have been crafted by
Switzerland-based precious metal refiner Valcambi SA.Silver coins named after
the legend are already available on the market. They weigh 20gm and 10gm, carry
his photo and signature, but are without the figure of 200, signifying the
number of Tests he had played before retiring in November last year.
