| Reverse description | An ornamented royal crown occupies the central field, depicted in a schematic and highly stylized manner characteristic of French colonial hammered coinage struck for Pondicherry. The crown is rendered with decorative floral and foliate embellishments filling the surrounding field. The strike is irregular with no surrounding legend or inscription, consistent with the hand-hammered production technique employed throughout the issue's long period of use. |
