Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis founded the Indian Statistical Institute in Kolkata in 1931 and later became the principal architect of India's Second Five-Year Plan, pushing the country toward heavy industrialization — a model that shaped economic policy for decades and remains contested among economists. The Reserve Bank issued this coin to mark the 125th anniversary of his 1893 birth.
The .500 fineness is characteristic of RBI commemorative silver from this period, a deliberate cost-control decision rather than a concession to any historical standard.
