Awadh&nbsp;State, Wajid Ali Shah&nbsp;(AH 1263–1272 /1847–1856 AD),&nbsp;Mulk Awadh Bait-us-Sultanat Lakhnau Mint, Gold Ashrafi (Mohur), Struck from Rupee Dies, AH 1264 /Ahad RY, "Tayed-e-elah, Zille Haque"&nbsp;Couplet, Obv: Persian legend "Sikka zad bar seem wa zar az fazl Tayed-e-elah, Zille Haque Wajid Ali Sultan-e-Alam Badshah", with Hijri year 1264 in the field, Rev: Persian legend "Zarb Mulk Awadh Bait-us-Sultanat Lakhnau, sana Ahad Julus Maimanat Manus", with a parasol above a crown, crossed swords below, flanked by mermaids holding flags (Unlisted date combination for the type in Gold), nice luster, graded &amp; slabbed by NGC as AU Details,&nbsp;Extremely Rare.<o:p></o:p>

Note: This gold Ashrafi is struck from dies originally intended for silver rupees, making it an unlisted type in gold in major numismatic references. While this die design is known on rupee and fractional silver denominations (such as 1/8 rupee), its appearance on a gold flan — with the specific AH 1264 / RY Ahad combination — is unusual and extremely rare.<o:p></o:p>The reason for using silver rupee dies for striking gold remains uncertain, but it may suggest a trial, ceremonial, or emergency issue. This anomaly enhances its value and relevance to advanced collectors of Awadh coinage.<o:p></o:p>
