Henderson, J. R., The Coins of Haidar Ali and Tipu Sultan, First published Madras, 1921, reprint by Asian Educational Services, New Delhi, 1989, 123 pages, 9 plates, hardcover. A catalog of the coins of Mysore in southern India from 1761-1799. There is a decent historical introduction, followed by a catalogue of really good descriptions of the coins. The coins of Haidar Ali are arranged by type, while those of Tipu Sultan, a much more extensive series, is arranged by mint. The section on Tipu Sultan has a good introduction explaining the mints, dates, names of cyclical years, names of months, letter year, and denominations/names of coins. The photographic plates are actually quite good, ex James Farr Collection Library.
