TFP. Looks like an eminently readable coin. Wondering how Brijis Qadr had positioned himself in these "interesting times".

He was only aged 11 when proclaimed Wazir of Awadh,  he was exiled into Nepal, here is a superb full flan falus I spotted on Ebay unidentified and rapidly bought it

Wow! Spectacular coin. Certainly not made in a hurry. I heard of coins made especially for use in the ruler's court. Maybe this is one of them.
