Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Falus coin from the Kingdom of Awadh is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil and change in India. The coin was minted in 1847-1848, which was a period of political upheaval and conflict between the British East India Company and the Indian princely states, including Awadh. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region.
