Does the reverse lettering appear kind of janky to you on this Indian cent?

What ?

Next I made the it approximately the same diameter and then moved it above CENT and kept the edges aligned as best I could or centered. Also the OP coin the tops and bottoms of the letters are not at the same height but the other coin is. Then there is the obivious differences in the letter spacings and height and....
