The double-rupee of Tipu Sultan struck at the Nagar (Haidarnagar/Bednur) mint represents one of the most distinctive silver issues of his coinage. The mint at Nagar-identified by Henderson as the only mint to have produced coins for every year of Tipu's reign-held a particularly important position in his monetary system. Double-rupees from this mint follow the standard Haidari weight standard (approximately 21–23 grams) and display the characteristic calligraphic style associated with late 18th-century Mysore issues.
