Reverse description A fleur-de-lis positioned at the center of a bold outlined Greek cross, the arms of which extend to the coin's edge, dividing the field into four quarters. A border of pellets encircles the entire design along the rim, a decorative feature characteristic of hammered colonial silver issues of this era. The composition combines French heraldic symbolism with a cross motif, reflecting both the religious and political authority of the French colonial administration in Pondicherry.
