| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hammered reverse with an irregular scalloped dot border encircling the field. A bold horizontal raised line divides the field into two registers, each bearing Persian legends in Nastaliq script. The upper register names the denomination as Baqiri (the quarter rupee) and records the regnal year, while the lower register gives the mint name Patan and the initial 'He' (ه) as a cipher for Hyder Ali, father and predecessor of Tipu Sultan. The legends are strongly struck in relief against a darkened silver field. |

Tipu Sultan's coinage reform of the 1780s was sweeping and deliberate — he introduced a new calendar, new coin names, and new mint signatures as part of a broader administrative project to distinguish Mysore from both Mughal precedent and British-aligned neighbors. The Patan mint, operating under the name Patnagar in Tipu's official nomenclature, served the southwestern reaches of his kingdom. Its output was relatively limited compared to Seringapatam, which makes clean survivors from this mint somewhat harder to source than the reference numbers suggest.
Tipu was killed at Seringapatam in May 1799, ending the mint's operation abruptly. Coins struck in the final regnal years of this series were in circulation for a matter of months before British annexation swept Mysorean coinage out of official use.
