| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of Gandhi's return to India from South Africa in 1915, when he arrived at Bombay after more than two decades abroad and had yet to assume the political role that would define him. The 2015 commemorative program coincided with the centennial celebrations organized across India, though the coin itself circulated through the Reserve Bank of India's standard commemorative distribution channels rather than seeing any meaningful pocket change.
