| Obverse description | A royal crown is depicted above the central circular hole, which is encircled by a raised border. The denomination legend in English reads 'ONE HALFPENNY' around the upper portion of the hole, with the Arabic equivalent 'نُصْف پَنّي' inscribed beneath. The outer legend 'GEORGIVS V REX ET IND: IMP:' runs along the periphery of the field, identifying the issuing monarch as George V, King and Emperor of India. The design is rendered in a plain, utilitarian style characteristic of colonial circulation coinage of the period. |
