| Reverse description | The reverse field displays three lines of bold Naskh Arabic calligraphy within a beaded border, reading 'Hu al-Sultan / al-Wahid al-Adil / Sana 1217', translating as 'He is the Sultan, the One, the Just', with the Hijri year 1217 (corresponding to 1788 CE). The deeply struck legends in high relief are characteristic of the hammered gold coinage of Tipu Sultan's Mysore Sultanate. The inscription is a religious and royal proclamation, asserting Tipu Sultan's sovereignty and divine legitimacy. The overall style reflects the vigorous calligraphic tradition employed across Tipu Sultan's gold issues. |
