| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized outline map of India centered in the field, with a waving national flag superimposed upon it, symbolizing national unity and integration. The commemorative legend राष्ट्रीय एकता (Rashtriya Ekta) arcs along the upper portion of the field in Devanagari script, with its English equivalent NATIONAL INTEGRATION curved below in Latin script. The date of issue appears in the lower exergue. The mintmark, when present, is situated below the map: a small diamond (♦) for Mumbai circulation issues, the letter B for Mumbai Proof issues, and a five-pointed star (★) for Hyderabad; the absence of a mintmark denotes Calcutta. |

| Additional information |
The "National Integration" series was introduced by the Indian government in 1982 partly in response to growing regional separatist tensions — Punjab, Assam, and the northeast were all experiencing serious unrest, and the coinage was a deliberate, if blunt, political instrument. The round type was later superseded by an eleven-sided version, a design change that created the KM#121.1 and KM#121.2 distinction collectors encounter today.
