Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Fanam (Narasimha) coin from the Empire of Hoysala is that it features an image of the Hindu god Narasimha, who is depicted as a half-man, half-lion avatar of Lord Vishnu. This image symbolizes the empire's strong Hindu roots and highlights the importance of religion in the Hoysala culture.
