| Reverse description | Central device consists of an octagonal Jain emblem composed of two conjoined triangular forms, enclosing a swastika symbol in the upper portion and the Jain open-palm (Abhaya Hasta) motif in the lower portion, the palm bearing a dharmachakra at its center — collectively representing the Jain symbol of ahimsa (non-violence). The bilingual commemorative legend surrounds the device, with 'भगवान महावीर' and '2600वाँ जन्म कल्याणक' in Devanagari to the left and 'BHAGWAN MAHAVIR 2600TH JANM KALYANAK' in Latin to the right. The Jain maxim 'परस्परोपग्रहो जीवानाम्' (Souls render service to one another) appears below the central device in Devanagari, with the date '2001' at the bottom. Mintmark appears below the date. |
