The Shatabdi Purab Committee of Mohali on Friday released a commemorative replica of the coin released by Sikh warrior Baba Banda Singh Bahadur in 1710 in the name of the first Sikh master, Guru Nanak Dev.
Releasing the coin during celebrations of the tercentenary of Sirhind Fateh Diwas, committee convener Hardeep Singh, who is a member of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), said the coin does not bear the name or stamp of any organisation and has the same language (Farsi/Persian) as used by Banda Bahadur in 1710 on both sides of the coin.
Singh said the residents of Mohali and its vicinity who desire to have the coin, will be sent the coin free of cost at their doorsteps. The first coin was presented to a local resident.
