India, Mysore, Tipu Sultan (1783-99), Sixteenth-Rupee (Kazimi), Patan (Seringapatam), AM1216, regnal year 6 (Henderson -; KM -), extremely fine, unrecorded with this date and regnal year.
The name 'Kazimi' commemorates Musa al-Kazim, the seventh of the twelve Imams.
It is possible that this date was written in error for AM1226, year 16, for which examples are known. However both date and regnal year are quite clear on this example, which would make it the by far the earliest recorded date for this denomination.
Estimate: £200.00 - £300.00
