Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 07/28/2009 04:19 am No, sorry, it's definitely from Awadh, now in Uttar Pradesh state. In 1818 when this coin was struck, Awadh was still independent. It wasn't taken over by the British until 1856. The number "26" on the other side is meaningless; it's a "frozen regnal date". In 1199 (1785), the 26th year of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II, the mintmasters of Awadh simply stopped bothering to update the regnal year of the Mughal emperor. By 1818, the Emperor had been dead for over a decade, yet he is still named on the coins of Awadh as the emperor. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
