| Reverse description | The reverse bears a two-line Arabic inscription occupying the central field, reading 'Zarb Nagar' (struck at Nagar) above the regnal year '1225' in Eastern Arabic numerals, corresponding to the Mauludi era year used by Tipu Sultan. The legend is rendered in a bold, somewhat crude Naskh script consistent with provincial hammered copper coinage. The field is plain and unbordered, and the overall strike is typical of the utilitarian character of Mysorean paisa issues. |
