india 10 paisa 1989This was the last of the 10 paise coins to be circulated. The diameter of this coin is just 17mm and the weight is 2.1 gram. This is struck in stainless steel. On the obverse we can see "satyamev jayate" beneath the lion symbol, which means truth alone triumphs. This was a question to Jamal Malik in the movie Slumdog millionaire for which he took an audience poll.
