coin_obverse:

This is a half anna copper coin from the days of East India Company. It is a very large and heavy coin. Just indicates the value two Pice had back then. On the obverse, We have a leafy design almost in the shape of a wreath. Inside that is the text saying "HALF ANNA". The Urdu above reads "do paaee" presumably meaning two pice. Around the design, we find the text "EAST INDIA COMPANY".

On the reverse are the company arms with the year written just below.
