| Reverse description | The reverse field is entirely occupied by a bilingual denomination legend arranged in two horizontal registers across the coin's surface, enclosed within a plain raised rim. The upper register displays the Urdu/Persian inscription 'Yak Pai Sikka' (One Pai coin) in Arabic script, while the lower register repeats the denomination 'Ek Pai Sika' (One Pai coin) in Devanagari script, reflecting the bilingual administrative practice of the Bengal Presidency. The bold, high-relief lettering fills the field without a central device or effigy, consistent with the aniconic tradition of Mughal-derived coinage. The uniform mechanical quality of the strike attests to Calcutta Mint's milled production methods. |
