OK. Here is the special holder for very small coins. How do you like it?

 

I`ve forgotten about my golden fanam - sorry! Please, compare with my coin.

 

This is definitely a Kali Fanam. Gold or silver? I cannot determine from the scan. Some of the Kali Gold fanams have so little gold content that it would look like silver. A Kali fanam with full silver is rarer than the gold variety.

 

As you said, this one is from Cochin.

 

I have got 3 different silver Kali fanams. Very small, but very nice!

 

I dont think all of them are Kali fanams.. There are only two known specimen - gold and silver. The design is the same. There are similar coins. But they are not Kali Fanams. If you can post their pictures, perhaps I can help.
