This is a highly historically valuable artifact, hand-hammered at the 'Patan' mint, the capital of the Mysore Kingdom, while fighting against the British East India Company. Both domestically and internationally, an individual in this condition is extremely rare, possessing museum-quality status. • Issuing Country: Independent Mysore Kingdom, India • Ruler: Tipu Sultan • Currency Unit: 1 Rupee (Silver coin name: Imami) • Year of Issue: Moludi Era (AM) 1217 / Minted AD 1788–1789 • Mint: Patan (Current Srirangapatna capital mint) • Material and Actual Dimensions: Silver / Weight 11.3g Diameter 26mm (Perfectly conforms to the official standard specifications of the time) 1. Exceptional State of Preservation (Choice AU ~ Uncirculated grade): There is almost no wear from the passage of time, and the Persian calligraphy engravings remain perfectly three-dimensional as if carved with a knife. The subtle original luster unique to silver coins is fully preserved. 2. Perfect Preservation of Side Serrations: The oblique milling patterns on the edge, which are the first to wear away on circulated items, are more than 95% perfectly intact. This is evidence that the coin was stored deeply without being circulated after issuance. 3. Rare 'Rosette (Flower/Star pattern)' Variant: The characteristic flower-shaped mint mark filling the margins and the fine stippled engravings on the background are perfectly embossed without any blurring. This is a premium variant that stands apart from the common plain-patterned circulated items found in the market. 4. 100% Authenticity Guaranteed: The natural die flaws that occur during hand-hammering are clearly visible on the sides, confirming that this is an original authentic piece and not a fake made by modern precision machinery or casting. This is a masterpiece worthy of being sent to US grading companies such as NGC or PCGS to aim for a Top Pop grade. It is in museum-grade condition.
