| Obverse description | Central field displays an elephant motif rendered in bold relief, surrounded by Arabic inscriptions. The date 1212 (AH) appears in the upper legend in Eastern Arabic numerals. The entire design is enclosed within a dotted border circle. The style is characteristic of late 18th-century Mysore coinage under Tipu Sultan, featuring bold, stylized Arabic script arranged around the central device. |

| Reverse description | The reverse field bears bold Arabic inscriptions arranged in two lines across the coin, divided by a horizontal line through the centre. The upper line carries a portion of the mint or ruler legend, while the lower line continues the inscription. The whole is enclosed within a dotted border, consistent with Mysore copper coinage of the Tipu Sultan period. The script is executed in a bold, fluid Nastaliq style typical of late 18th-century South Indian Islamic coinage. |
