Comment
Note by http://www.chiefacoins.com :"In August 2014, one Anna dated 1951 and 1952 having moon facing left were seen. These issues are considered as mint sport."
Interesting fact
The 1 Anna coin from Pakistan, issued between 1949 and 1952, features a unique design element - the crescent moon on the obverse (front side) opens to the left, which is a departure from the traditional Islamic coinage design where the crescent moon usually opens to the right. This design change was made to distinguish the Pakistani currency from other Islamic coins and to symbolize the country's independence and unique identity.
