| Additional information |
The Reserve Bank of India was established in 1935, making this 1985 issue a direct commemoration of its fiftieth year of operation. The RBI was originally privately owned at founding, nationalized by the Indian government in 1949 — a distinction that shaped its institutional identity through the decades this coin marks.
At 34 grams and 44mm, this is among the largest copper-nickel pieces India produced in the commemorative series of the 1980s, a run that stretched the country's mint capacity across facilities in Bombay, Calcutta, and Hyderabad simultaneously.
