| Additional information |
Krishnaraja Wadiyar III ascended the Mysore throne at age four in 1799, the same year Tipu Sultan fell at Seringapatam and the British restored the Wadiyar dynasty as a dependent princely state. This copper cash issue falls within the early years of his reign, when the actual administration of Mysore was effectively managed by the East India Company's Divan, Purnaiya, until 1811 — making these coins products of a court that was, for practical purposes, still finding its own footing.
