The obverse displays a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, accompanied by bilingual denomination numerals, the Governor’s signature, microtext, guilloche patterns, and updated security features. Shades of brown and orange dominate the design.
The reverse features a detailed illustration of a rhinoceros, elephant, and tiger, symbolizing India’s biodiversity and commitment to wildlife conservation. This iconic trio was a hallmark of this series.
