The coin features a unique blend of Indian and British design elements, with the obverse side bearing the image of a lion and the reverse side featuring a stylized representation of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi. Additionally, the coin's copper composition and relatively low weight make it stand out from other coins issued during this period.
