| Obverse description | Central field features the Mysore royal emblem of a walking elephant facing right, depicted in a stylised indigenous artistic manner. Above the elephant, the auspicious Kannada legend 'ಶ್ರೀ ಕೃಷ್ಣರಾಜ' (Sri Krishna Raja) is inscribed in two lines, identifying the ruling maharaja Krishna Raja Wodeyar III. The design is enclosed within a plain border, with the overall composition rendered in the traditional South Indian numismatic style characteristic of early nineteenth-century Mysore coinage. |
