Madakari Nayaka II (1652–1674)

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Fanam coin from the Empire of Vijayanagara is that it features an image of Lord Venkateswara, a Hindu deity, on one side, and the king's name and title on the other. This coin was used as a medium of exchange during the reign of Madakari Nayaka II and was considered a symbol of prosperity and wealth.
