| Reverse description | The central device features the official emblem of the International Labour Organization: the bold letters 'ILO' superimposed upon a toothed cogwheel symbolizing industry, the entire motif encircled by two upswept olive branches tied at the base, representing peace and international cooperation. The legend श्रम जगत (Shram Jagat) in Devanagari script arcs along the upper left, with 'WORLD OF WORK' in Latin characters along the upper right periphery. The commemorative dates '1919 – 1994' appear in the lower exergue, marking the 75th anniversary of the ILO's founding. |

Issued as part of India's FAO-aligned commemorative program, this piece marks the International Year of the Family — a UN initiative that in practice prompted dozens of issuing authorities worldwide to release near-identical themed coinage in 1994. India's participation was routine, but the specific "World of Work" designation ties it to ILO programming rather than the family observance, reflecting the government's dual commitment to both UN bodies at the time.
