| Additional information |
Issued to promote maternal and child health initiatives under India's ongoing public health campaigns of the mid-1990s, this commemorative was part of a broader FAO-linked series the Reserve Bank released sporadically across that decade. The FAO coin program encouraged member nations to mint issues tied to food security and health objectives, with India participating more actively than most.
