Comment
Notes by http://www.chiefacoins.com :"Some people during this period use to remove all the corners of the above coin, by rubbing it with hard surface and making it physically round like the below Quarter Rupee coin. As most traders do not read on what is written on the coin, therefore these mischief people gain four times by using this technique."
"In 2011, one Anna dated 1950 having moon facing right was seen. This issue is considered as mint sport."
Interesting fact
The 1 Anna coin from Pakistan, issued between 1948 and 1952, features a unique design element - the crescent moon on the obverse (front side) opens to the right, which is a departure from the traditional Islamic depiction of the crescent moon that opens to the left. This design choice was made to distinguish the Pakistani currency from other Islamic countries' currencies and to symbolize the country's independence and unique identity.
