[Sikka zad bar seem wa zar az] fazle taeed Ilah                                                                  Zulle haque Wajid Ali Sultan  Aalam Badshah

Date 1270. 

 Reverse belons to Amjad Ali.

Crude lettering.  Arms: Between two curved swords a fish surmounted by crown, surmounted by an umbrella. Five scallops over crown.  Fish turned to right     

Portion of legend around arms:  

[Zarb Mulk Awadh] Baitu-s-saltanat Lucknow [sana 5 julus maimanat manus].

Comments:       A Hybrid coin of Wajid Ali Shah and Amjad Ali Shah.   This may be a mint error or a rebellion issue. On inspection of metal texture and lettering it seems to be like other rebellion issue of crude variety. Contemporary forgery can not be ruled out.
