Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Tipu Sultan, also known as the "Tiger of Mysore," who was a powerful ruler and military leader in the Kingdom of Mysore in the late 18th century. He was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the kingdom, and this coin is a reflection of that effort, as it was minted using a standardized system and features a unique design that reflects the kingdom's cultural and historical significance.
