Beschrijving keerzijde Central device depicts the royal arms of Awadh: a crowned column flanked by two rampant lions each holding a staff with pennant, with two confronted fish below, interlaced within a wreath-like arrangement. Arabic marginal legends encircle the design, recording the mint name (Lucknow) and the regnal year. The composition is enclosed within a beaded inner border, with additional inscription in the exergue. The heraldic device reflects the distinctive Nawabi symbolism of the Kingdom of Awadh.

Aanvullende informatie

Ghazi ud-din Haidar's assumption of the title "King of Awadh" in 1819 was itself a transaction — the East India Company conferred the royal style in exchange for territorial and financial concessions, effectively purchasing loyalty with a crown. Coinage issued that year marks the formal break from Mughal nominal sovereignty, under which Awadh's nawabs had technically struck coins in the Mughal emperor's name for generations.

The Lucknow mint operated under company oversight by this period, its output tightly bound to British commercial interests in the region.
