| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold bilingual denomination legend at center, with the Persian script روپای (rupaya) inscribed above the English words HALF ANNA, all enclosed within an open wreath of flowering branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The circular outer legend EAST INDIA COMPANY runs along the upper and lateral periphery in large raised Latin letters, separated from the inner wreath by a plain inner border. The field is flat and unadorned save for the wreath and denomination, presenting a clean, legible design characteristic of East India Company utilitarian coinage of the 1835–1845 period. |
