<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 199971, member: 1824&quot;]Biju,any coin issued after 1799 by Mysore is a British Commonwealth issue.The first issues under British suzeranty were issued during the regency of Dewan Purnaiya (1799-1810),who was ruling the state on behalf of Maharajah Krishnaraja Wodeyar (who ruled in his own right from 1810-68).The last Mysorean coins were issued during the 1840&#039;s.After that,the Maharajahs of Mysore would have decided to stop issuing their own coins,but allow the British Indian coins to circulate there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even after 1799,there were a lot of elephant &amp; tiger coins being issued.Some of them are bilingually inscribed in English &amp; Kanarese.The AH &amp; AD dates are used on these coins,unlike the pre-1799 issues,which used AH &amp; AM (Mauludi Year) dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
