| Reverse description | A crowned portcullis with chains pendent at the sides and foot, rendered in fine detail within a beaded inner circle; the portcullis serves as the heraldic badge of the East India Company. The circular legend, punctuated by ornamental stops, runs along the outer border. The overall design is bold and well-centred on a broad flan typical of hammered silver coinage of the period. |
