A scroll below the shield bears the legend 'ISLANDS'. The circular legend 'ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS' arcs around the upper periphery in Latin characters, while the date '2011' appears in the lower field flanked by five-pointed star ornaments. |

| Additional information |
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands have never operated an independent mint or monetary system — these islands use standard Reserve Bank of India currency. This piece is a so-called "fantasy issue," produced without any governmental authorization from the territory it claims to represent, almost certainly by a private minting operation targeting collectors of world coin sets. The X# prefix in Krause cataloging exists precisely to quarantine such items from legitimate issues.
