Reverse description The reverse displays a colorized map of the North American continent set against a vivid blue oceanic background, with landmasses rendered in green and yellow tones. Superimposed at center is a large, detailed portrait of a bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in right-facing profile, its white head and yellow beak rendered in full color against the cartographic field. The curved legend 'CONTINENTS OF THE EARTH' arcs along the lower left periphery, with 'NORTH AMERICA' inscribed prominently in the lower central field in Latin script. The overall design is executed as a full-surface colorized print applied to the coin's reverse.

Additional information

Fantasy issues attributed to Jammu and Kashmir circulate among novelty collectors but carry no official standing — the princely state ceased to exist as an administrative entity in 1952, and no successor authority has issued coinage. "North America" as a regional qualifier on a Kashmiri rupee denomination has no historical or monetary basis whatsoever.
