highpeaks New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 06/12/2014 11:34 am Can't help with identifying the coins, but just wanted to add that "fanam" or "panam" is literally the Tamil word for "money". So 10 panam or 10 fanam is like "10 Cash", another coin from East India times where there is no separate specific word for the currency. Wonder which other countries / languages have / have had coinage termed as just "money" in that language. Report this Post to the Staff

allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 06/16/2014 3:51 pm I suspect that your second coin may also be from Travancore and is a 1 Chuckram: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22586.html There are several (I am aware of three) variations in the design, but they are all grouped under KM#1 in Krause. It maybe Cochin also. Report this Post to the Staff
