Epithet; Weight varies between 10.7 to 11.6 gramsInteresting fact
The coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that it was issued during the reign of Ghazi ud-din Haidar, who was the ruler of the Kingdom of Awadh (also known as Oudh) in India. The coin features the ruler's name and title in Urdu, which was the official language of the kingdom at the time. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight of 11.21 grams make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Indian history and currency.
