Ashoka Lion capitol

UWAGA: Różne typy godła narodowego
Typ 1: Boczne lwy bez zębów z 2-3 rzędami futra, krótkie przysadziste D w INDIACH.
Typ 2: Bardziej imponujący cokół lwa Asoki. Lwy boczne
z 3 lub 4 rzędami futra, bardziej eleganckie D w INDIACH. Kształt litery D w INDIACH jest najłatwiejszym sposobem rozróżnienia tego awersu.
TYP 3: Podobny do typu I, ale 2 zęby, 4 do 5 rzędów futra, mniejsza głowa lwa. Napisy z serifami. Automatically translated
