| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed frontal elevation of the Taj Mahal, the celebrated 17th-century Mughal mausoleum in Agra, India, rendered in high relief with its characteristic central onion dome, four flanking minarets, and ornate arched iwan framing the composition. An elaborate floral and foliate arabesque border frames the upper arch of the design, evoking the decorative inlay work of the monument itself. The date 2023 appears in the upper field above the arch.
