Venkaji - 1674 - 1686Interesting fact
The One Fanam coin from the Kingdom of Thanjavur-Maratha (Indian states) is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the kingdom was going through significant political and economic changes. The coin was issued during the reign of King Serfoji II, who ruled from 1798 to 1832, and it features an image of the king on one side and a depiction of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi on the other. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was used during a transitional period in Indian history, when the Maratha Confederacy was dissolving and the British East India Company was gaining control over the region.
