India declared independence on 15th August 1947. India was partitioned into three parts. India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (former East pakistan). India was declared as Republic in 1950. India introduced it's own coinage,on 15th August 1950,   all of which have Ashokas (the greatest Mauryan Emperor) Lion Capital motif (described in First coinage of India). All the coins and currency notes of modern India have this four-lion symbol on it.

Indian Republic continued with the old monetary system used by the British Empire as legal tender for almost 10 years after Independence, where in a Rupee consisted of 16 Annas / 64 pice. India adopted a decimal monetary system only in 1957 where, One Rupee consisted of 100 Paise (Naya Paise). After posting my collection of coins minted by Indian Republic from Aug 1950 to Dec 1956. (Old system coins of Indian Republic) 1 to 5 Naya Paise coins, 10 & 20 Naya Paise coins, 25 & 50 Naya Paise Coins and One Rupee coins, I am now posting my collection of Two Rupee Coins
