<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3234743, member: 98035&quot;]I have a modest collection of the most common fanam types, but not many imaged. Far from ancient or even medieval, one of my smallest (5mm) and prettiest is from the early 1800s</p><p><br /></p><p>Kingdom of Mysore,</p><p>Krishnaraja Wodeyar III </p><p>Obv: Lion head avatar of Vishnu</p><p>Rev: Garbled legend</p><p>[ATTACH=full]845469[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still up in the air on these, but I have a half dozen purported &quot;fractional fanams&quot; at 2mm and so small they only register on my scale as 0.6 grain, so under 0.04g. I have heard it said with equal conviction that these are genuine medieval coins, and that they are modern fantasy issues produced just a few years ago.[ATTACH=full]845471[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
