“I have always enjoyed the time spent on the cricket field which has given me some of the most precious memories of my life. However, this occasion is a different golden moment of my life,” Tendulkar said, launching the gold coin bearing his visage.

He has also entered into an association with Valuemart to promote a unique range of commemorative products which involve the use of his image, photos and logo.
