| Additional information |
The shift to copper-nickel for this type came after India's stainless steel rupee experiments of the 1970s proved hard on dies and machinery. KM#79 spans a politically turbulent window — from Indira Gandhi's assassination in 1984 through the economic liberalization pressures that would eventually force a fundamental rethink of Indian coinage policy in the early 1990s. Mintage figures across this run vary considerably by year, with issues from the Hyderabad and Calcutta mints distinguishable by their respective mint marks.
