Comment
Weight and dimensions can vary, but weight should be around 11grams on average. The Brijis Qadr issues can de distinguished from the earlier originals as by the presence of the mintname Subah Awadh on the bottom of the reverse.
Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Kingdom of Awadh, issued in 1229 (1814), is interesting because it was made of silver and weighed 11 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time.
