The reverse features a portrait of Srimat Swami Pranavananadaji Maharaj, the inscription "125", the inscription "125TH BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF SRIMAT SWAMI PRANAVANANDAJI MAHARAJ", and the year "2021."
* **Rule 5:** Specifies the standard weight of the coins and the remedy allowed in making of such coins.
* **One Hundred Rupees:** 35.00 grams with a silver content variation of 498 to 502 per 1000, and weight could vary from 34.65 grams to 35.35.
* **Fifty Rupees:** 22.50 grams with a silver content variation of 498 to 502 per 1000, and weight could vary from 21.94 grams to 23.06.
