2 Rupee : Double Plus

• 
  
  In this two rupee coin, the obverse shows a "double plus" symbol with four dots on each side instead of the usual lion capital or the map of India. This symbol is believed to be a Christian cross, introduced on the coins through the RBI by the tsarina, the ElizabethI of India. A lot of hue and cry was raised as the symbol was believed to be a Christian cross , even though officially the theme of this coin is 'unity in diversity', and Mr. Narendra Modi has gone to lengths bringing this symbol on the rupee to the notice of the prople, causing the RBI to withhold the mintage of this design of the Indian rupee with the "cross". This rupee with the cross was minted only for the years 2005, 2006 & 2007 and after that this rupee was withdrawn.

• The new rupee coin is a good example of this thought process- only where the graphics are concerned on the coin.The size of the coin has been made a size smaller… the new 2 rupees coin is of the size the earlier 1 rupee coin.
• It is very confusing as it is same size of the Indian 1rupee coin.
