| Reverse description | Two large ears of grain — rendered in fine detail with individual husks clearly defined — arch symmetrically from the base of the field, meeting at the top to frame a central rectangular tablet. Within the tablet, the FAO slogan is inscribed in Devanagari script reading 'अधिक अन्न उगाओ' above a dividing line, with the English translation 'GROW MORE FOOD' below. The date '1973' appears in the exergue at the bottom of the field, with the mint mark 'B' (Mumbai Mint) situated just below the tablet. |
