Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Fanam (Gingee) coin from the Maratha Empire is that it was used as a currency during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between India and other parts of the world, particularly the Middle East and Europe. This coin, made of gold and weighing 0.6 grams, would have been a valuable and highly sought-after form of currency during its time in circulation.
