| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a richly attired Sikh warrior (sardar) standing in full figure at the centre of the field, wearing an ornate turban, layered robes with jewelled decorations, and carrying a large bow, with a sword at his side. He is set against the backdrop of a grand columned architectural structure, suggestive of a historic Punjabi or Mughal-era palace or temple. To the lower left, stylised wheat sheaves are visible, a traditional symbol of Punjab's agrarian heritage. The denomination '100 Rs' appears in bold numerals to the right, with the engraver's initials 'ВБ' (Vitaly Bakhtinov) discretely placed to the lower right of the field. |

| Additional information |
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.
