A double Paisa of Mysore

[capnbirdseye]

Mysore, Tipoo, AE Double Paisa, Patan mint, retrograde date AM1218,  unlisted date for KM#124.1
 Elephant facing left seems far more uncommon for double Paisas's.  size is 35mm


A bit cracked and worm but genuine ones are hard to find

TFS cap'n. Retrograde date, retrograde elephant. Would there be a connection? I can't think of a credible scenario, but I am not an expert.

In all cases, a great find.
