Original gold fanam from southern India in a numismatic capsule and collector's blister pack
Connect with the richness of Eastern heritage through this authentic Fanam gold coin, issued in southern India during the 18th and 19th centuries. These coins, small in size but great in value, were used in the kingdoms of Mysore and Travancore as a symbol of wealth, trade, and tradition.
Their pattern was based on the weight of a sandalwood seed, reflecting the region's meticulous monetary culture.

- Testimony to Indian heritage: At only 7 mm in diameter and weighing between 0.3 and 0.4 g, these coins were the smallest gold coins ever issued in India. Their use was linked to high-precision transactions and spiritual value. A museum piece: Forged in fine gold and used for centuries in regional trade, fanams are now museum relics, highly coveted by collectors for their rarity, aesthetics, and cultural heritage.
- Collection presentation: Each coin is delivered individually encapsulated in a numismatic capsule, protected in an elegant black blister pack measuring 180 x 120 mm, ideal for both storage and display. Includes illustrative card and printed certificate.
