| Obverse description | Elephant walking to right depicted in primitive style, occupying the central field with four legs rendered in relief below the body. The Persian letter 'Alif' (ا), a symbol of divine unity emblematic of Tipu Sultan's coinage, appears above the elephant's back in the upper field. The design is contained within a plain raised rim, and the overall execution reflects the characteristic hammered workmanship of late 18th-century Mysore copper coinage. |
