| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a striking pictorial design unusual among contemporary Indian rupees, depicting a royal or mythological scene in low relief. A mounted horseman or figure on horseback is visible alongside a prominent tiered architectural structure resembling a throne or pavilion. Additional figures and decorative elements occupy the field around the central device. The outer periphery bears a continuous Arabic legend identifying the mint and the julus (regnal year). The overall composition reflects the distinct artistic style adopted by the Awadh court under Nasir-ud-Din Haidar. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nasir-ud-Din Haidar's reign over Awadh was, by most contemporary British accounts, a disaster of studied indifference to governance. He spent lavishly on European curiosities, astronomical instruments, and personal amusements while the East India Company tightened its administrative grip on the kingdom. These rupees were struck at Lucknow under a ruler the Company's own Residents effectively treated as a dependent — a fiction of sovereignty maintained largely because annexation hadn't yet been judged politically convenient. That came in 1856, under Wajid Ali Shah.
