| Reverse description | Central device presents a right-facing portrait bust of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, the celebrated Indian independence martyr, depicted in his characteristic style. The portrait is rendered in moderate relief against a plain field. Surrounding legends in both Devanagari and Latin scripts commemorate the birth centenary of Bhagat Singh, with the years '1907 - 2007' inscribed below the portrait to denote the centenary span. The overall design is austere and dignified, befitting a commemorative issue honoring a national hero. Coins were initially released in 2008 for UNC and Proof sets, with general circulation issues following in 2012. |
