We report the discovery of an unusual emission line galaxy at redshift z = 1.68 found from near- IR imaging and spectroscopic observations with ISAAC/VLT of a faint gravitationally lensed R-band drop- out behind the lensing cluster Abell 1835. From the emission lines of [O iii] λλ4959,5007, and Hβ this galaxy shows a moderate to high excitation and line equivalent widths typical of relatively metal-poor H ii galaxies. Its apparent J magnitude translates to an absolute B-band magnitude MB ～ –16.4 once corrected for a gravitational magnification of 1.8 magnitudes. This makes it one of the faintest intermediate redshift galaxies known so far. From the presence of emission lines and the available V RIJHK photometry we determine constraints on its dominant stellar population. The only viable fit found is for a fairly young (～ 6–9 Myr) burst suffering from a considerable extinction (AV ～ 1.2–1.8 mag). We find that this object resembles strongly H ii galaxies and intermediate redshift compact emission line galaxies, albeit suffering from a larger extinction than usual. We also discuss the possible contamination introduced by such R-band drop-out galaxies in searches for z ～ 5 galaxies.
