<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spiraltreet, post: 253252, member: 3476&quot;]hello Richie, finally i&#039;ve solved this riddle..&nbsp; the deity is indeed an avatar of Vishnu, &#039;Narasimha&#039; (half lion and half man). The image is taken from a statue from the ruined city of Vijayanagar(see the attachment) . There are about 33 types of Kantirava fanams distinguished till now.. On a large group, the reverse legend was replaced by its mirror image. In these fanams, the &#039;KA&#039; of &#039;Kamthirava&#039; looks like an &#039;8&#039;. The coin on the left belongs to this category( &#039;8&#039; [letter on the right side] is not legible ). The coin on the right also belongs to this type, but it is from a later year. Both the coins are common varieties.&nbsp; I hope, now the doubt is clear..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
