| 裏面の説明 | Central field displays the denomination and issuing authority in three horizontal lines — FIVE RUPEES / INDIA — separated by a raised rule, with the date 1870 below, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Surrounding this central device is an elaborate continuous border of interlaced geometric triangular cartouches and luxuriant acanthus-style foliate scrollwork, evoking Indo-Persian decorative traditions. The whole is contained within a plain rim with a beaded border. |

The KM#476 five-rupee gold piece belongs to a short-lived series that the Calcutta Mint produced in limited quantities during the late 1860s and early 1870s — small-denomination gold coins that never found much practical traction in a subcontinent where the silver rupee dominated everyday commerce. The British Indian monetary system leaned heavily on silver, and gold coinage circulated mainly among merchants and in formal transactions rather than in ordinary hands.
Survivors in collectible condition are scarcer than mintage records alone suggest, as many were melted when gold values shifted.
