Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fanam coin is that it was used as a currency in the Kingdom of Mysore during the rule of Haidar Ali and his son Tipu Sultan, who were known for their military campaigns and administrative reforms. Despite being made of gold, the coin was widely used for everyday transactions, reflecting the prosperity and economic activity of the kingdom during that time.
