背面描述	The royal arms of Awadh displayed in the central field, featuring a crowned parasol (chatr) above a shield flanked by two mermaids, each holding a flag; crossed swords appear below the shield. A Persian-script legend identifying the state and the seat of sovereignty at Lucknow occupies the surrounding area, while the regnal year is placed in the lower register. The heraldic composition is typical of Awadh regal coinage under Wajid Ali Shah and is rendered in the flat, linear style inherent to hammered silver issues.

附加信息	Wajid Ali Shah ruled Awadh during its final years as a nominally independent state, with the East India Company exercising increasing control over his administration and treasury. The British annexation came in 1856, just years after this type was struck, on the stated grounds of misgovernance — a pretext that provoked widespread outrage and contributed directly to the grievances fueling the 1857 uprising. Wajid Ali Shah himself was exiled to Calcutta, where he lived under British supervision until his death in 1887. KM#357.1 distinguishes this variety within the broader Awadh fractional series by mint details specific to Lucknow.
