| Beschrijving voorzijde | The heraldic arms of the East India Company displayed centrally, comprising a quartered shield supported by two rampant lions, with flags and a lion passant crest above. A ribbon scroll below the shield bears the abbreviated legend 'AUSP: REGIS & SENAT: ANGLIAE', denoting authority of the King and Parliament of England. The denomination 'ONE PIE' appears in the upper field, divided to either side of the crest. The date 1809 is inscribed in the exergue below the coat of arms. The design is framed by a beaded border running the full circumference of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bengal Presidency's coinage experiments of the early nineteenth century reflect the East India Company's ongoing struggle to rationalize a monetary system inherited from dozens of local mints with incompatible weight standards. KM#Pn23 is a pattern issue, meaning it never entered circulation — produced to test a proposed denomination or design before an official striking decision was made by Company authorities in Calcutta.
The 1809 date places this squarely in the period preceding the major EIC coinage reforms that would eventually consolidate Bengali, Bombay, and Madras issues under a unified framework in the 1830s.
