This exceptional copper 1/4 Paisa represents a fascinating piece of Indian numismatic history from the independent Mysore Kingdom under Tipu Sultan’s reign (1787-1799). Minted at the prestigious Patan Mint, this rare coin bears distinctive iconography that reflects the sultanate’s unique identity during this pivotal period.

The obverse features an elephant walking rightward, a symbol of royal authority and strength in South Indian coinage. The reverse displays the mint name “Patan” inscribed both at the top and bottom in Persian script, along with the numeral “Sin,” emphasizing the coin’s authenticity and provenance.

Weighing 2.54 grams, this Very Fine specimen showcases excellent preservation with clear details still visible despite its age. The Patan Mint variety adds significant appeal to serious collectors, as Tipu Sultan’s coinage is highly sought after for its historical importance and limited circulation.

Collectors prize this denomination for its rarity and the window it provides into 18th-century South Indian monetary systems. As a tangible artifact from an important historical reign, this coin represents an excellent investment for numismatists and history enthusiasts alike. The very fine condition ensures both visual appeal and lasting value.
