| Reverse description | Elaborate heraldic-style composition in high relief featuring two decorated elephants facing each other at centre, supporting a shield-like cartouche bearing the words AHIMSA, SATYAGRAHA, and SEVA. The central device is surmounted by a flaming urn flanked by two rampant animals, all set within an ornate foliate and fruiting border incorporating scrolls, exotic plants, and pendant fruits. Banners inscribed MAHATMA and BAPU appear on either side of the elephants. A circumferential legend in Portuguese runs around the lower three-quarters of the field. |
