This exceptional copper 1/4 Paisa (Akhtar) represents a significant piece of Indian numismatic history, minted during the reign of Tipu Sultan between AD 1787-1799 in the Mysore Kingdom's Patan Mint. Designated as KM121.1, this rare coin weighs 2.88 grams and features an elegant design with an elephant walking leftward on the obverse, while the reverse bears the mint mark "Zarb Patan" along with a retrograde date corresponding to AM1215. Tipu Sultan, known as the "Tiger of Mysore," was one of India's most formidable rulers who resisted British colonial expansion. His coinage reflects the sovereignty and cultural identity of the independent Mysore Kingdom during this turbulent period. The coin's extremely fine condition preserves intricate details that showcase the craftsmanship of 18th-century minting techniques. This piece is highly sought after by serious collectors and historians due to its rarity, historical significance, and exceptional preservation. The combination of its age, limited mintage, and connection to one of India's most notable historical figures makes it an invaluable addition to any numismatic collection. Its investment potential continues to appreciate as authenticated specimens become increasingly scarce in the collector's market. --- #
