Hi,

this coin should be 2014! It's the only date written on the coin and it's impossible to guess, that it might have been released in 2015!

This is a general problem with Indian coin years in the Numista catalog, which is a crazy way of reasoning. When on the coin you only find, like here 1914-2014, then it should be 2014 you search for and NOT any other year (like 2015 or whatever)!

Any other opinions on this?

Here another example

Hello.
Yes, there are such coins not only in India, but also in other countries. My opinion is to indicate the actual date on the coin. In case the coin was issued in another year, this can be indicated in the comments. Now it looks delirious, you're right.
