| Reverse description | Central field displays a bilingual inscription within a plain raised circle, combining a Persian legend in the upper register and a Devanagari legend in the lower register. The Persian reads 'Yek Pai Sikka' and the Devanagari reads 'Ek Pai Sikka', both translating to 'One Pie Coin', affirming the denomination in the two principal scripts used across the Bengal Presidency. The layout is symmetrical and the lettering is bold and clearly struck, consistent with the standardised copper pice coinage of the period. |
