Dear Shariq, The Cross Rs 5 is seen only in 2007. I have not come across any other date. I believe that they are Kolkatta mint products and were released into circulation only last year. Have never seen any in circulation but did pick up a few from dealers during the coin fair in Ahmedabad and Kolkatta.

The IT Rs 5 were easily available in circulation 2 years back but have almost dissappeared. At least I have not found one in circulation in the last year. Rumour has it that they were smuggled out into Bangladesh to make razor Blades. Now even at toll booths, you find torn & dirty Rs 5 notes but rarely one comes across a Rs 5 coin.

I didn't across any Rs 5 Coin with cross, although Rs 10 Cross were available with some dealer about year but at current I have no idea. Although Rs 10 bimetallic fake coins were confiscated by Delhi Police some months ago.
