| Reverse description | The central field features a composite design commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Khadi and Village Industries Commission. The bust of Mahatma Gandhi dominates the upper portion of the field, rendered in relief without spectacles, facing slightly left. To the lower left, a woman is shown seated at a traditional charkha (spinning wheel), representing the khadi textile movement. To the lower right, a rural village scene with huts and trees is depicted in low relief. The date '2007' with a mint mark appears in the exergue. Surrounding legends in both Latin and Devanagari scripts are arranged along the upper and lower periphery within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate the centenary of the Khadi and Village Industries movement, this coin marks a hundred years since Gandhi began promoting hand-spun cloth as an instrument of economic self-reliance during the independence struggle. The Reserve Bank of India has produced a substantial number of commemorative five-rupee pieces over the decades, but few tie as directly to the philosophical core of the nationalist movement as this one.
KM#360 is not scarce in circulation finds, though uncirculated examples from original mint rolls are modestly harder to source than the mintage figures might suggest.
