| Reverse description | Central device depicting a pair of balanced scales in the field, symbolizing justice and fair trade, a hallmark of East India Company coinage for the Bombay Presidency. Surrounding the scales is a legend inscribed in Devanagari script reading 'Neem Aana' (Half Anna) with the date 1821 expressed in both Western and Devanagari numerals. The overall design is characteristic of the Bankot mint issues, with a plain field and no inner border. |
