Photo from Zeno posted by asm (ex Todywalla) who wrote: The coin seems to be a concoction using the obverse die of Zorawar Khan (AH1241-1291/AD1825-1874) dated AD1872 and the reverse die dated AH1291 in the name of Bismilla Khan (AH1291-1313/AD1874-1895). It is likely that they used an old die (of 1872) and combined it for the first issue of Bismilla Khan in AH1291. The latest reported 8 anna for Zorawar Khan is dated AD1871/AH1289. Later date combinations for Zorawar Khan may therefore be rare. The die prepared for AD1872 might still have been in good condition and used, perhaps due to shortage of time, in combination with the die of AH1291 (accession date) for Bismilla Khan. The coin most likely was produced as a presentation issue during the accession celebrations of the new ruler.
