| Reverse description | Central numeral '1' in Arabic-Indic style dominates the field, flanked symmetrically on both sides by stalks of oat or wheat, their ears curving outward to frame the central device. The denomination legend appears below the numeral inscribed in both Urdu and Bengali scripts, reading 'Ek Paisa'. The overall composition is clean and uncluttered, consistent with the functional design aesthetic of Pakistani decimal coinage. |

Pakistan's shift to nickel brass for this denomination in 1965 was a direct response to rising metal costs — the earlier bronze composition had become uneconomical to strike at this size and weight. The change was made quietly, without fanfare, as part of a broader rationalization of the subcontinent's subsidiary coinage following the monetary disruptions of Partition's aftermath.
