背面描述	A Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris) depicted in left-facing profile stance occupies the central field, rendered in naturalistic detail with fine engraving work by P. W. M. Brindley. The denomination is inscribed below the tiger in three scripts: Devanagari (आधा रुपया), Latin (HALF RUPEE), and Nastaliq Persian (هشت آنہ), reflecting the multilingual character of British India. The issuer name INDIA and the date appear along the lower exergual area. The three-language legend signifies equivalence: half a rupee equalling eight annas.

附加信息	By 1946, the colonial rupee coinage was already operating on borrowed time. The August 1947 transfer of power meant these final George VI issues straddled two political realities — struck under British authority yet circulating freely into independent India and Pakistan, both of which continued using pre-partition coinage for years while their own monetary infrastructure was established. The Bombay and Calcutta mints produced this type concurrently, and mint mark placement on the reverse remains the standard method of attribution between the two facilities.
