| Reverse description | Central field displays the denomination '2 ANNAS' and date '1940' beneath the word 'INDIA', all set within an elaborate floral and foliate decorative framework. Surrounding the central motif, the denomination is rendered in four regional scripts: Urdu (دو آن), Nagari (दो आना), Bengali (দুই আনা), and Telugu (రెండుఅణాఒ), reflecting the multilingual character of British India. The overall composition is symmetrical and ornate, typical of pattern coinage prepared for official review. |
