| Obverse description | A caparisoned elephant facing left with tail raised, depicted in the traditional Indian style with decorative trappings rendered in relief across the body and draped cloth along the flanks. The animal's trunk curves downward and its four legs are shown in walking posture. Above the elephant's back, the regnal date in the Mauludi era (AM) is inscribed in Arabic numerals within the upper field. The overall composition fills the flan with bold, sturdy relief characteristic of Mysore copper coinage of the Tipu Sultan period. |
