| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Mysore regnal year in the AM (Anno Mauludi) calendar rendered in Arabic numerals, accompanied by the mint name 'Farrukhi' in Arabic script. The legends are arranged within the small circular field, with numerals above and the mint inscription below, all in a bold calligraphic style. The granular rim frames the design, consistent with the hammered technique employed for Tipu Sultan's gold fanams. |
