1 Paisa - Tipu Sultan Nagar mint

Tipu Sultan established a new reckoning system in 1788, replacing the traditional Hindu calendar with a solar calendar of his own design — the Mauludi era — and renaming his mints as part of a broader administrative overhaul that rebranded cities, officials, and coinage alike. Nagar, a fortified town in the Western Ghats, became Tipu Sultan Nagar under this program. This paisa dates to what would be his final years of uncontested rule; the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War was only five years away.
