| Reverse description | The reverse carries a multilingual inscription presenting the denomination in three scripts arranged across the field. The central legend in Persian script reads Yek Pai Sikka, flanked and complemented by the equivalent value inscribed in Bengali and Devanagari (Hindi) scripts, reading Ek pai sikka. This trilingual presentation reflects the East India Company's practice of acknowledging the principal vernacular languages of Bengal Presidency on its coinage. The design is austere and text-focused, without figurative elements, enclosed within the coin's plain edge. |
