| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a decorative cartouche with scalloped inner border enclosing the denomination inscription INDIA / 1/2 / AN NA / 1940 arranged in four lines, with the fraction numeral 2 prominently displayed. Surrounding the central cartouche, the four corners of the square flan bear the denomination rendered in four regional scripts: Urdu (دو پیسہ) at the top, Devanagari (दो पैसे) at the left, Bengali (দুই পয়সা) at the right, and Telugu (రెండు పైసలు) at the bottom. The overall design employs a bold, geometric layout characteristic of British Indian coinage of the period. All inscriptions are clearly struck in high relief against a flat field. The combination of Latin and regional scripts reflects the multilingual character of British Indian imperial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pattern coinage struck in gold by the Royal Mint for British India is exceptionally rare as a category — most patterns of this period were produced in base metals for circulation trials, with gold strikes reserved for presentation purposes or archival sets. The 1940 date places this squarely in the early years of Indian wartime coinage reform discussions, as the colonial administration was simultaneously managing metal supply pressures and debating subsidiary coinage composition ahead of eventual independence.
KM#534a is a gold-struck variant of a denomination that circulated in bronze. No standard gold ½ Anna was ever issued for circulation.
