| Obverse description | A stylized elephant in profile faces left, rendered in bold low relief in the characteristic Mysore hammered style. The animal's trunk curves downward and its tail arches upward, conveying a sense of movement across the field. To the upper right of the elephant, a Kannada or Persian script inscription appears, likely denoting the regnal year or mint epithet. The design occupies most of the coin's flan, with minimal border treatment typical of Tipu Sultan's copper coinage. The overall execution is robust, consistent with the hammered coinage of the Farrukhi mint during Tipu Sultan's reign. |
