"We had decided to make 10,000 such coins that will also be given to the devotees of the Sai Baba. They have to pay the value of the coin. We had also got the government approval for distribution of these coins," said Suresh Haware, President of Sai Baba Trust, Shirdi.

Haware said that this silver coin with an emblem of Sai Baba will be opened for public by Prime minister Narendra Modi on Friday at Shirdi.
