| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tipu Sultan inherited the Mysore kingdom from his father Hyder Ali in 1782 and immediately set about reforming the coinage system, introducing a new calendar, new weight standards, and new mint names as part of a broader administrative overhaul intended to sever symbolic ties with Mughal monetary convention. Nagar — renamed Farrukhi-yabad under Tipu — was one of several mints he reactivated or reorganized during this period. The paisa circulated as the workhorse denomination of everyday commerce in the region, and Tipu's copper issues saw heavy use in the markets of a kingdom that was simultaneously fighting three wars against the British East India Company.
