In 1962, the 1 rupee coin underwent a revision with slight design changes compared to the previous version. The weight of the coin was altered, reduced to 10 grams from the previous 11.66 grams. Despite these changes, the coin still retained its composition of nickel. This Coin is in scarce category and highly sought after by collectors.
The next revision of the 1 rupee coin took place in 1975. While the design remained largely unchanged from the previous version, there were notable alterations in the metal composition and weight. The coin transitioned from nickel to copper-nickel, and its weight was reduced to 8 grams from the previous 10 grams.
In 1982, the 1 Rupee coin underwent a design change, featuring a slightly different 6-corner inner design. The weight decreased from 8 grams to 6 grams, and the size reduced from 28 mm to 26 mm. These new coins were minted in Indian mints (Mumbai, Kolkata, Noida, Hyderabad) and some foreign mints.
The 1 rupee coin underwent its next revision in 1992. It was modified by replacing the copper-nickel composition with ferritic stainless steel, resulting in a weight of 4.85 grams. The updated design eliminated the six-corner shape, presenting a cleaner appearance.
The introduction of the new 1 Rupee coin design in 2004 marked a significant departure from all previous coin designs. The coin featured a cross, symbolizing unity in diversity. Made of ferritic stainless steel and weighing 4.85g.
In 2007, the 1 Rupee coin underwent a new design featuring the theme of classical dance "Nritya mudra"(thumbs-up sign).The metal composition and weight of this coin remained similar to the previous cross design coins.
In 2011, the previous "Nritya mudra" coins were replaced by a new flower pattern for the Rs 1 coin. These coins were minted using steel as the metal and the weight was reduced from 4.85 grams to 3.79 grams.
In 2022, a new 1 rupee coin was introduced, commemorating 75 years of independence, also known as Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. However, due to its high minting cost relative to its denomination, these new coins are not extensively produced and are thus not commonly found in circulation.
