Shailen Bhandare notes that the reverse has a unique arrangement of persian script that is different from usual issues and so far this coin is unique.

Clear underdate visible on 8 reales (1805). Exceptionally rare. This is the earlier type (AH 1172 Year 2), crude design. For the next iteration, a much better design was used for RY6. Pridmore opined that these could have been trial strikes. Compared to RY6, RY2 is very rare.

Exceptionally rare; only three specimens believed known £3,000-£5,000 FOOTNOTE Owner’s ticket. Literature: Peter Snartt, ‘Some unpublished varieties of E.I.C. Madras coins’, SNC September 1976, p.319. Fred Pridmore considered this new type, first published in 1976, as a pattern or transitional issue, and numbered it 172a as the punctuation on it resembles his 172; others, including the present cataloguer, would logically have ordered it as 168a and it has been placed in sequence as such here. The obverse design is smaller than on the normal coins of the 1808-12 issue, leaving a wide outer margin, and the buckle is square instead of round. On the reverse there are five concentric circles of pellets (as on the 1807-8 coins) instead of the usual three Provenance: INDIA, British, EIC, Madras Presidency, pagoda coinage, second issue (1808), silver half pagoda (Pridmore 172; KM.354). Uneven toning with dark spots, otherwise very fine. Ex Mark E.Freehill Collection. https://noble.com.au/auctions/lot?id=426780
