This exceptional copper 1/4 Paisa (Akhtar) represents a remarkable piece of Indian numismatic history from the Mysore Kingdom during Tipu Sultan's reign (1787-1799 AD). Minted at the prestigious Faiz Hisar Mint, this coin weighs 3.10 grams and features distinctive iconography—the obverse displays a Persian date positioned above an elephant facing rightward, while the reverse bears the mint inscription "Faiz Hisar." Tipu Sultan, known as the "Tiger of Mysore," was one of India's most formidable rulers who resisted British colonial expansion. Coins from his reign are highly sought after by collectors worldwide due to their historical significance and relative scarcity. This particular piece is unrecorded in standard numismatic references, making it an unlisted and genuinely rare find for serious collectors. Graded in Extremely Fine condition, this copper coin showcases excellent preservation with minimal wear, demonstrating its careful handling throughout centuries. The rarity factor, combined with its exceptional state of preservation and historical provenance from a transformative period in Indian history, makes it an outstanding investment for numismatic enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
