In a touching tribute to the legendary actor and former Chief Minister, Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao, famously known as NTR, President Droupadi Murmu recently unveiled a special Rs 100 commemorative coin at a ceremony held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. This coin release marks the birth centenary of NTR, an icon whose contributions to both the world of cinema and politics are deeply cherished.
NTR, often referred to as one of the greatest actors in the history of Indian cinema, left an indelible mark with his portrayals of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna. His performances in these divine roles continue to be celebrated and revered by audiences across generations. In the realm of politics, NTR was known for his pro-poor policies and social justice initiatives, further solidifying his place in the hearts of the people.
President Droupadi Murmu, while speaking at the event, eloquently highlighted NTR's immense contribution: "The roles of Lord Rama and Krishna played by NTR will be remembered forever. In politics, he left his mark with his pro-poor policies and social justice initiatives."
The commemorative coin, minted at the government mint in Hyderabad, is not only a symbol of respect but also a piece of history. Made from an amalgamation of 50% aluminum, 40% copper, 5% nickel, and 5% zinc, it features a diameter of 44mm with NTR's image on one side and the words "Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Sata Jayanti" engraved in Hindi. The reverse side showcases three lions and the Ashoka Chakra.
What makes this coin particularly unique is that it's the first coin to bear a person's face imprint at the Hyderabad mint. A limited quantity of 12,000 coins has been minted and made available for purchase, both online and at mint sale counters in Saifabad and Cherlapally, Hyderabad.
It's important to note that this commemorative coin cannot be used for regular transactions but serves as a precious keepsake in honor of NTR's legacy. To ensure that as many admirers as possible have the opportunity to possess this memento, there may be a cap on the number of coins issued to a single individual, as mentioned by the chief general manager of the government mint, VNR Nayudu.
Former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu expressed his gratitude to the Union government for commemorating NTR's legacy with this special coin. He emphasized how this gesture unified Telugu people worldwide, transcending differences and political affiliations. Indeed, NTR's charisma and leadership continue to resonate with Telugus, making him a beloved figure beyond boundaries.
NTR's daughter and State BJP president, Daggubati Purandeswari, fondly remembered her father's commitment to women empowerment and gender equality. She highlighted how NTR championed the cause of women's rights, including equal rights to family property. This aspect of his legacy remains significant and serves as an inspiration for future generations.
In conclusion, the release of the Rs 100 commemorative coin by President Droupadi Murmu serves as a heartwarming tribute to the multifaceted legacy of Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao. It's a gesture that not only honors a cinematic and political icon but also unifies people in celebrating a legend whose influence transcends time and boundaries.
