| Reverse description | The reverse displays a trilingual denomination inscription combining Bengali, Persian, and Hindi scripts, reading 'Do Pai Sikka' (meaning 'Two Pice coin'), arranged in multiple horizontal lines across the field. The Bengali characters appear in the upper and lower registers, while the Persian/Urdu script occupies the central register, creating a distinctive multi-script layout characteristic of Bengal Presidency copper coinage of this period. The legends are struck in raised relief against a flat field, with no decorative border or imagery. This trilingual format reflects the administrative and commercial context of the East India Company's currency in Bengal. |
