| Obverse description | Central field features a large ornate tughra-style calligraphic device rendering the Urdu legend حکومتِ پاکستان (Government of Pakistan) in an interlaced, cursive composition. Above the calligraphic device, the national emblem's crescent and five-pointed star are prominently displayed in the upper field. The Latin legend GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN curves along the right periphery of the scalloped flan, following the contour of the twelve-lobed edge. The overall design reflects the early post-independence Pakistani coinage aesthetic, combining Islamic calligraphic tradition with Western typographic elements. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays a large numeral 1 flanked on either side by the date 1951, with the numeral bisecting the year horizontally. The Urdu denomination ایک آنہ appears above the numeral in the upper central field, while the Bengali denomination এক আনা is inscribed to the left and the Latin legend ONE ANNA curves along the right. The entire central design is enclosed within an elegant wreath of floral and foliate branches, rendered in fine relief, whose stems meet at the base of the field. The composition fills the scalloped flan harmoniously, with the denomination expressed in three scripts reflecting Pakistan's multilingual character at the time of issue. |
