The right half displays the Lion Capital of Ashoka, the official state emblem of India, depicting three lions atop an abacus with a dharma chakra (wheel), set against a dark background with the date '2022' above and the denomination legend 'ONE HUNDRED RUPEES' inscribed vertically along the right border. |

Issued to mark the 75th anniversary of Punjab's formation as an Indian state following Partition, this commemorative sits in an awkward numismatic category — silver-plated base metal dressed up for collector appeal while circulating face value keeps it technically legal tender. The plating on these issues is notoriously thin, and raw examples handled without care show copper-nickel bleed-through at the high points within months of release.
