Lucknow Mint.Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee coin from the Kingdom of Awadh, minted during the reign of Muhammad Ali (Lucknow) in 1253-1254 (1838), is interesting because it was made of silver and weighed 11.09 grams, which was a significant departure from the standard coinage of the time, which was typically made of copper or bronze. This coin's unique composition and weight reflect the economic and political influence of the Kingdom of Awadh during that period.
