This is an exceptional 1/4 Paisa copper coin from the Mysore Kingdom, minted during the reign of the legendary Tipu Sultan between AD 1787-1799. Struck at the prestigious Bengalur (Bangalore) mint, this piece bears the catalog reference KM 31.2 and is graded in Very Fine condition, indicating it has seen moderate circulation while retaining excellent detail.

The obverse features an elephant walking left with the date positioned above—a distinctive design element characteristic of Tipu Sultan’s coinage. The reverse displays “Zarb Bangalur,” confirming its mint origin. Tipu Sultan, known as the “Tiger of Mysore,” was one of India’s most significant historical figures, and his coins are highly sought after by numismatists worldwide.

This copper denomination is notably scarce in the current market, making it a prized addition to any serious collection. The Very Fine condition preserves the coin’s artistic details while maintaining authentic patina. Collectors value Tipu Sultan coinage for its historical significance, artistic merit, and investment potential. This rare specimen represents a tangible connection to 18th-century Indian numismatic artistry and the region’s rich colonial-era history.
