The denomination legend encircles the hole, rendered in both English and Arabic scripts within the field. The Latin legend reads ONE HALFPENNY and the Arabic equivalent نُصْف پَنّي appears beneath. The royal title GEORGIVS SEXTVS REX is inscribed along the upper periphery. A beaded border runs along the outer rim of the coin. |
