Gold Fanams from Indian States
Many southern Indian states issued small gold coins called Fanams between about 1700 to about 1830. There were typically 36 fanams to the pagoda.
Fanams were generally the smallest gold coins issued by any of the Indian States, we give an approximation of their weights and dimensions:-
Weight 0.3 to 0.4 grams
Diameter 5.7 to 6.5 mms.
Thickness (depth) 1.2 to 1.4 mms.
States which issued fanams include:-
Maratha, Mysore, Cochin, Coorg or Kurg, Travancore, Negapatnam (for circulation in Ceylon), Tuticorin, and the Mughal Empire.
We have photographed a couple of typical coins.
