Map Location: Southern India (Karnataka)
Hierarchy: India> Indian Local and Princely States> Mysore
Period 1: The Wodeyar Dynasty (Early Rule)
Dates: 1399–1761
Introduction: Originally a small feudatory of the Vijayanagara Empire, the Wodeyars established an independent kingdom in 1565. Their early coinage followed traditional South Indian standards, particularly the "Pagoda" and "Fanams."
Key Rulers:
Kanthirava Narasaraja I (1638–1659): The first to establish a mint and issue the famous "Kanthirava Fanam."
Chikka Devaraja (1673–1704): Expanded the administration and formalized the state's fiscal systems.
Period 2: The Khudadad Sarkar (Sultanate of Mysore)
Dates: 1761–1799
Introduction: A period of de facto rule by Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan. Under Tipu, the coinage was revolutionized with a sophisticated decimal system, Persian legends, and a new dating system (Mauludi era).
Key Rulers:
Hyder Ali (1761–1782): Maintained the Wodeyar "Pagoda" style but marked them with the letter 'He' ($text{ح}$) to signify his authority.
Tipu Sultan (1782–1799): Known as the "Tiger of Mysore." He established multiple mints and gave unique names to his coins (e.g., Ahmadi, Paisa, Mushtari).
Period 3: Princely State of Mysore (British Protectorate)
Dates: 1799–1950, for coinage 1799 - 1843
Introduction: Following Tipu's defeat at Seringapatam, the British restored the Wodeyar dynasty under a Subsidiary Alliance. The state became one of the most progressive "Princely States" in British India until its integration into the Republic of India.
Key Rulers:
Krishnaraja Wodeyar III (1799–1868): His long reign saw the extensive issuance of copper "Cash" coins featuring the Kannada legend and the lion (Sardula) motif.
