Obverse description Central field features a stylized elephant or feline figure facing right, rendered in the bold, archaic hammered style characteristic of Mysore coinage under Tipu Sultan. Arabic numerals indicating the regnal year appear above the animal in the upper field. The design is enclosed within a plain inner circle surrounded by a border of raised pellets, giving the coin a distinctive decorative frame typical of late 18th-century Mysorean copper issues.
