| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse field is entirely occupied by three horizontal bands of bold Nastaliq calligraphy, separated by incuse ruled lines. The uppermost band carries the auspicious coin legend beginning with 'Sikka Mubarak Badshah Ghazi', the central band bears the royal name 'Ghazi-ud-Din Haidar', and the lower band records the regnal year in Eastern Arabic numerals (1234/1235 AH) alongside the phrase 'Sana Julus Maimanat Manus' (year of the auspicious accession). Scattered pellet ornaments fill the interstices between the inscriptions, a decorative convention typical of Awadh hammered gold coinage. The legends are deeply struck with characteristic Lucknow-school calligraphic elegance. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ghazi-ud-Din Haidar had himself proclaimed King of Awadh in 1819 — a title the British East India Company permitted in exchange for tightening their grip on the state's finances and military. The Banaras mint, operating under Company oversight, struck this ashrafi in the early months of that new royal pretension. The KM#170.1 designation distinguishes the Banaras output from concurrent strikes at Lucknow, with subtle die differences in the floral border execution that specialists use to separate the two.
