As in the case of the 25 paise, the reverse had been simplified compared to the types of the 1960s.<br /><br />I have observed five varieties among this 50 paise type. Three different obverses are found: Ashoka sculpture <a href="http://quarterrupee.blog.co.uk/2007/07/04/different_versions_of_the_ashoka_column_~2573405">version a</a>, <a href="http://quarterrupee.blog.co.uk/2007/07/24/title~2691283">version g</a> and <a href="http://quarterrupee.blog.co.uk/2007/07/04/different_versions_of_the_ashoka_column_~2573405">version b</a>. The reverse has wide or narrow spacing between Nagari (Hindi) and Latin "PAISE". Where the spacing is wide, the individual letters of Latin "PAISE" stands further apart, and the Nagari script is enlarged, compared to the narrow spacing variety.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-yfzXkx74g/Rt_JgMAU9mI/AAAAAAAAAB0/vhlr2gi6jfY/s1600-h/50+paise+1973.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_g-yfzXkx74g/Rt_JgMAU9mI/AAAAAAAAAB0/vhlr2gi6jfY/s320/50+paise+1973.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5107022057277027938" /></a><br /><strong>Sculpture a, wide spacing.</strong> 1972 Kolkata, 1972 Mumbai, 1973 Mumbai observed.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-yfzXkx74g/RtCTCsAU9jI/AAAAAAAAABc/eGQMnwQy8oI/s1600-h/50+paise+1975+fs+ny.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-yfzXkx74g/RtCTCsAU9jI/AAAAAAAAABc/eGQMnwQy8oI/s320/50+paise+1975+fs+ny.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102740052192327218" /></a><br /><strong>Sculpture a, narrow spacing.</strong> 1974 Mumbai, 1975 Mumbai, 1976 Mumbai, 1977 Mumbai and 1980 Mumbai observed.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-yfzXkx74g/RtCMEcAU9gI/AAAAAAAAABE/09-6v1Wi2_I/s1600-h/50+paise+1972+sculpture+g+wide+spacing.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g-yfzXkx74g/RtCMEcAU9gI/AAAAAAAAABE/09-6v1Wi2_I/s320/50+paise+1972+sculpture+g+wide+spacing.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102732385675703810" /></a><br /><strong>Sculpture g, wide spacing.</strong> 1972 Kolkata observed.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-yfzXkx74g/RtCM4MAU9hI/AAAAAAAAABM/7ehDtB1qyOE/s1600-h/50+paise+1974+sculpture+g+narrow+spacing.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_g-yfzXkx74g/RtCM4MAU9hI/AAAAAAAAABM/7ehDtB1qyOE/s320/50+paise+1974+sculpture+g+narrow+spacing.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102733274733934098" /></a><br /><strong>Sculpture g, narrow spacing.</strong> 1974 Kolkata observed.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-yfzXkx74g/RtCRJsAU9iI/AAAAAAAAABU/ee1CZ9oqjBE/s1600-h/50+paise+n%C3%A6ste+side+fs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_g-yfzXkx74g/RtCRJsAU9iI/AAAAAAAAABU/ee1CZ9oqjBE/s320/50+paise+n%C3%A6ste+side+fs.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5102737973428155938" /></a><br /><strong>Sculpture b, narrow spacing.</strong> 1975 Kolkata, 1976 Kolkata, 1977 Kolkata and 1978 Kolkata observed.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5029999902982187947-284339366807984275?l=quarterrupee2.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Quarter rupeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16778584923280709509noreply@blogger.com0
