Comment
Different type of Fanam than regular KM#294. Could have been used as a tender in port city of Benkulun in Sumatra.Interesting fact
The 1 Fanam coin from Madras Presidency (British India) made of Silver weighing 1.12g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency in the Indian subcontinent during the 18th century, specifically in the Madras Presidency, which is now known as Chennai. It was a part of the British East India Company's currency system and was widely used for trade and commerce.
