| Additional information |
The hendecagonal 2-rupee was introduced in 1982 as part of a broader effort to help visually impaired users distinguish denominations by shape alone — the eleven-sided form was specifically chosen because it is immediately identifiable by touch. The "National Integration" theme was a direct government response to sectarian violence and regional separatist movements that had intensified through the late 1970s and 1980s, most acutely in Punjab and Assam.
Production across this date range was split among the mints at Bombay, Calcutta, and Hyderabad, each carrying their own mint mark.
