RBI released a press release in 2017. They have talked about 14 different designs. Which they have launched till 2017. Along with this, RBI also said that all these coins with different designs are real.

The 10-rupee coin is bi-metallic, which means that it is made by mixing two different metals. The weight of a fake coin can be very light or heavy. On the other hand, if you hit the real coin hard on something, you will hear a sound.

On the other hand, if the fake coin is hit on something, then it will hear a hollow sound. You can also detect it from the color and shape of the coin that comes out. But we always fail in terms of design.
