    Inspired by last months Giveaway by Lord M, I got myself this gold fanam.

    I found it on an online auction as cochin kingdom, but google results classify such coins as "coorg" which im assuming is a princely state as well. This coin is the lion with crescent with an alligator on the reverse type.
