Hub Doubling (Click Image To Enlarge)

Obverse 5 is observed with date placement at B.

Reverse E is identified by Class IV Offset Hub Doubling of the inner oak leaves of the left wreath, (C)ENT, olive leaves, left ribbon end, ribbon bow, wreath veins and outer edge of oak leaves of the right wreath and the right side of the shield.

Comments: Due to the class of doubled die, Reverse E features more obvious doubling compared to the usual Class II Distorted Hub Doubling usually seen for later date Indian Cent reverses.
