Comment
The more usual "Kanthirava" fanam where the dots representing the face are in vertical lines.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Fanam (Kanthirava) coin from the Kingdom of Mysore is that it was made of gold and weighed only 0.38 grams, making it a very small and lightweight coin. Despite its small size, it was still used as a circulating coin during its time and holds significant historical value today.
