| Reverse description | A forward-facing draped bust of Mahatma Basaveshwara occupies the central field, depicted wearing an ornate crown and traditional regalia befitting his stature as a 12th-century philosopher-saint and social reformer. The portrait is rendered in a classical medallion style with fine detail on the crown and necklace. The name 'MAHATMA BASAVESHWARA' is inscribed in Latin script along the upper periphery, with the equivalent 'महात्मा बसवेश्वर' in Devanagari along the left. The four cardinal principles associated with Basaveshwara — 'भक्ति - कायक - दासोह - समता' (Devotion, Labour, Service, Equality) — are inscribed along the lower periphery in Devanagari script. The mint mark appears in the lower field below the bust. |
