| Reverse description | Central field depicts a high-relief scene of Mahatma Gandhi standing prominently in the left foreground, rendered bare-chested and draped in a dhoti, holding a tall walking staff in his right hand. Behind him, a procession of followers recedes diagonally into the right field, evoking the imagery of the Dandi Salt March of 1930. The commemorative dates '1947 – 1997' appear in the lower central field, with the bilingual legend marking the 50th anniversary of Indian independence inscribed along the lower periphery in both Devanagari and Latin scripts. |
