| Reverse description | Central design features a seven-tiered Hindu temple gopuram (ornate gateway tower) rendered in detailed relief, enclosed within a buckled garter belt bearing bilingual legends in English and Persian. The English legend 'HALF PAGODA' appears along the upper arc of the garter, while the Persian legend 'Nim hun phuli' occupies the lower arc. The overall composition reflects the dual administrative and cultural character of the Madras Presidency coinage of the early nineteenth century. |
