| Additional information |
The Inter-Parliamentary Union, founded in 1889, is the oldest international parliamentary organization in existence. India hosted the 90th IPU Conference in New Delhi in 1993, and this coin was struck to commemorate it — a standard practice for Indian commemoratives of this period, when the government mint issued commemorative five-rupee pieces with some regularity for international events hosted on Indian soil.
Struck at the Bombay Mint, identifiable by its diamond mintmark below the date.
