- Znaki mennicy
1946 Bombaj - mała kropka pośrodku kresek przed i po dacie (patrz ilustracja poniżej).

1947 Bombay - mała kropka pośrodku kresek przed i po dacie (patrz ilustracja poniżej).

- Duży nakład (50 829 000 sztuk) został zgłoszony na rok 1946 z zapisów mennicy w Lahore, ale nie znaleziono właściwego sposobu identyfikacji tych monet. Monety z mennic w Kalkucie i Lahore mają te same oznaczenia, więc nie są dobrym sposobem na identyfikację mennic.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

- Mint marks
1946 Bombay - small dot in the center of the dashes before and after the date (see image below).

1947 Bombay - small dot in the center of the dashes before and after the date (see image below).

- A large mintage (50 829 000 pcs) has been reported for 1946 from the Lahore mint records but a proper way to identify these coins have not been found. Coins from both Calcutta and Lahore mints have the same marks so they are not a good way to identify mints.
- KM#535.1 - 2.87 g,
- KM#535.2 - 2.9 g,
- KM#535.3 does not exist.
