India 5 rupees 2009 - Brass new subtype
This regular coin has been redesigned to be made of brass instead of CuNi. Besides, the edge is now milled instead of a security edge.

hmmm...The ones I've got recently have the other ashoka lion version. It could be that both versions exist in brass! What's also different about this coin is that it has a regular milled edge unlike the security edge for all other Rs 5 coins
