Elephant walking left within a dotted border, inverted crescent moon above / Crossed lines, Kanarese numeral "4" twice. 12mm, 1.65 grams. Uncertain mint. KM #153 var.

Very unusual style, very different from the normal coins of this type. The style of the boar or elephant is very similar to the style of the gold fanams.

This coin is a part of a large issue of various anonymous bronze kasus produced in the 18th century (and probably earlier) at various mints around Mysore. These coins are poorly studied and understood.
