This exceptional copper 1/4 Paisa (Akhtar) represents a fascinating piece of South Indian numismatic history from the reign of Tipu Sultan, the legendary ruler of Mysore Kingdom (1787-1799 AD). Struck at the prestigious Faiz Hisar Mint during the Islamic calendar period AM1215-1227, this rare coin weighs 2.78 grams and showcases remarkable artistic details—featuring a Persian date with an elephant facing right on the obverse and the mint inscription on the reverse.

Graded in Very Fine condition, this copper specimen displays the characteristic patina and wear patterns of an authentically circulated historical coin. The KM41.2 catalog designation confirms its legitimacy among serious numismatists. Tipu Sultan’s coinage is highly sought after due to his role as a visionary ruler who resisted British colonial expansion, making his artifacts profoundly historical. Collectors prize these pieces for their rarity, artistic merit, and the window they provide into 18th-century Indian monetary systems. An ideal acquisition for Indian history enthusiasts and serious coin collectors.
