| Reverse description | The reverse features a central motif combining the logo of the Inter-Parliamentary Union interlocked with the universally recognized gender symbols: the female symbol (circle with a small cross below) and the male symbol (circle with an arrow pointing northeast), commemorating the theme of gender partnership in politics. Above this central device is a depiction of the Indian Parliament building (Sansad Bhavan). The date '1997' appears below the central motif, accompanied by two dots representing the Hyderabad Mint mark. Bilingual legends in Devanagari and Latin script surround the design, referencing the Inter-Parliamentary Conference and its theme of men and women's partnership in politics. |

| Additional information |
The Inter-Parliamentary Union held its 97th Conference in New Delhi in 1997, bringing together parliamentary delegations from over 100 member nations. India has a long history of issuing commemorative rupee coins for such diplomatic occasions, and the Reserve Bank has used the five-rupee denomination for this purpose repeatedly since the 1990s — a tier reserved for events of international rather than purely domestic significance.
