| Reverse description | A stylized radiant sun design forms the central motif, within which a grain sprig is depicted, symbolizing agricultural abundance and food security in reference to the FAO World Food Day theme. The legend in Devanagari script arcs along the upper periphery, with the corresponding English inscription 'WORLD FOOD DAY' appearing below, and the year '1982' at the base of the design. The mintmark, when present, appears below the central device: coins struck at Calcutta bear no mintmark, while those from Hyderabad bear a five-pointed star. |
