Beschrijving voorzijde 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.

Aanvullende informatie

Tipu Sultan overhauled Mysore's entire coinage system after taking the throne, introducing a new calendar, new mint names, and new weight standards simultaneously — a administrative rupture with both Mughal convention and his father Hyder Ali's issues. The Patan mint, one of several he operated across his kingdom, struck copper low-denomination pieces primarily to supply local bazaar commerce in the southern territories.

These were minted during the years bracketing the Third Anglo-Mysore War, when Tipu's treasury was under sustained pressure from British campaign costs and the 1792 Treaty of Seringapatam ultimately forced him to cede half his territories and pay a war indemnity of over three crore rupees.
