| Beschrijving voorzijde | The heraldic arms of the East India Company displayed centrally in the field, featuring two lions passant as supporters flanking a quartered shield surmounted by a crest bearing St. George's cross, with crossed flags below. A ribbon at the base bears the motto AUSP: REG: & SEN: ANG: (Auspicio Regis et Senatus Angliae, meaning 'By the Command of the King and Parliament of England'). The date 1853 is inscribed above the shield. The overall design is rendered in fine relief with a raised protective rim. Queen Victoria is acknowledged as the ruling authority, though no royal portrait appears on this face. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1853, the East India Company's days as a governing authority were numbered — the Crown would assume direct control just five years later following the Sepoy Mutiny. This issue was struck at Calcutta during the Company's final coherent period of monetary administration, before the institutional upheaval of 1858 forced a complete recoinage under Crown authority.
The Pr#159 and Pr#160 references point to two distinct proof strikings catalogued by Prid more, differing in minor die details — collectors frequently conflate them with the circulation strike.
