| Obverse description | Central field features a tiger passant to the left in high relief, the emblematic animal of Tipu Sultan's Mysore sultanate, rendered in a bold, stylized manner characteristic of late 18th-century Indian hammered coinage. An Arabic inscription, denoting the regnal year, appears in the upper field above the tiger's back. The entire design is enclosed within a plain inner circle surrounded by a prominent outer border of raised beads. |
