| Reverse description | A bust-length portrait of the 12th-century philosopher-statesman and social reformer Mahatma Basaveshwara faces three-quarters to the left, depicted wearing traditional ornate regalia including a decorated crown, multiple-strand bead necklaces, and embroidered garments. The legend 'महात्मा बसवेश्वर' in Devanagari script arcs along the upper left, while 'MAHATMA BASAVESHWARA' in Latin script arcs along the upper right. Four Vachana principles — 'भक्ति - कायक - दासोह - समता' — are inscribed in Devanagari along the lower field. The entire design is framed by a decorative scalloped inner border. |
