Comment
Eastern Ganga was a medieval dynasty of present day Odisha region. Pankaj Tandon Assigns these type of coins to Variety 2 and RUler name to Narasimha III based on in his article here, http://coinindia.com/EasternGangas-fanams.pdfInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Fanam coin is that it features an image of Lord Narasimha, a Hindu deity, on one side, and an inscription in the Telugu language on the other side, indicating the coin's use in religious rituals and trade.
