| Reverse description | A naturalistically rendered elephant facing left occupies the central field, depicted in profile with tusks, detailed hide texture, and tail raised slightly. The numeral '48' appears prominently in the lower field beneath the elephant, indicating the denomination as 48 to one rupee. The circular legend 'BY WISDOM AND FORCE' arcs across the upper periphery, while '48 TO ONE RUPEE' is inscribed along the lower arc, all within a raised rim. The composition reflects the neoclassical engraving style associated with the Soho Mint of Matthew Boulton. |
