Denomination and Date: The coin clearly shows the denomination "5 " (5 Paise) and the year "1966" in both Hindi (Devanagari script) and English.
Obverse Design: The obverse (front) of the coin features the Ashoka Lion Capital, which is the national emblem of India, along with the inscription " INDIA" (India).
Reverse Design: The reverse (back) side displays the denomination "5 Paise" and the year "1966", often accompanied by a stylized wheat ear design symbolizing agriculture.
Composition: The 5 Paise coins minted between 1964 and 1966, including the 1966 coin, were made of Cupronickel.
Historical Context: These coins were part of India's "Decimal Series" introduced after the country adopted a metric system for coinage in 1955. The term "Naya" (New) was dropped from "Naya Paisa" in 1964, so this 1966 coin is simply referred to as "5 Paise".
Demonezation: Five Paise coins were demonetized in 1994, meaning they are no longer legal tender in India.
