背面描述	The reverse displays the bold numeral '1' in large format at the centre, with the word PICE inscribed beneath it, all set against a background of two crossed wheat ears that frame the central denomination. The legend INDIA appears along the upper periphery in Latin script, flanked on the left by the Hindi inscription एक पैसा in Devanagari script and on the right by the Urdu inscription ایک پیسہ in Nastaliq script. The date 1949 is placed in the lower exergue. The agricultural motif of the wheat ears reflects post-independence India's emphasis on agrarian identity.

铸造量	1949 - Rejected Pattern
附加信息	In 1949, India was still finalizing the coinage system it would carry into independence — the 1 Pice presented particular problems, as planners debated whether the tiny denomination had any practical future in a modernizing economy. This piece is a pattern, meaning it never cleared the approval process for circulation, and the extremely low weight suggests an experimental reduction from the standard pice specification, likely one of several size trials conducted before the denomination was ultimately retained in a different form.
