The arrows and rays on this issue weren't decorative choices — they were mandated markers of a deliberate policy change. The Coinage Act of 1853 reduced the silver content of all fractional coins after years of bullion prices making the old-weight coins worth more as metal than as money. Coins were being melted or exported en masse, leaving everyday commerce starved of small change.
The rays were dropped after just one year. The Philadelphia Mint found them too difficult to strike cleanly at production volume, leaving this the only year the full arrows-and-rays combination appears on the half dollar.
