Sholay Coin was sold for Rs. 26000 in an auction

Remember movie Sholay featuring a double head coined with picture of King George VI on both side used in the mega block buster of 1975. That coin was sold recently in auction for price of Rs. 26000. There are many fake pictures online for the coin but very few people knows that it was British era coin with King George VI stamped on both side.

There was huge discussion in a forum for this coin and it is said that it was created using two coins. Some people said that it was created out of mistake when two same dies stamped it. But others say it is not possible. Anyways, whatever it was, it was a classic and now a legend and I think almost all Indian movie fans knows about it.
