Commemorating Mahatama Gandhi’s 146th birth anniversary, the BCCI will
launch a specially-minted toss coin with the images of the Father of the
Nation and Nelson Mandela for the India-South Africa Cricket Seriesstarting Friday Oct 02,2015
“The toss coin in gold bears a impression of Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson
Mandela as ‘Heads’ and the Freedom Series as ‘Tails’,” the BCCI said in a
statement.
Designed exclusively for the Freedom Series,
the 20 grams gold-plated sterling silver coin will be used by India and
South Africa for all the formats of the game played with each other in
India.
The coin will be launched by the BCCI Secretary Anurag Thakur along with
the two captains, MS Dhoni and Faf du Plessis, at the start of the
first T20 match at Dharamsala tonight.
