| Reverse description | The reverse bears a two-part Arabic inscription divided across the field: the mint name 'Patan' (پاتن) inscribed along the lower portion and the word 'Zahrah' (زهره) placed in the upper field. The legends are rendered in a fluid, cursive Nastaliq-influenced hand characteristic of Mysore copper coinage. The lower half of the field is framed by a prominent beaded inner border arc, lending a decorative quality to the composition. The overall layout is characteristic of the Tipu Sultan paisa series struck at the Patan mint. |
