Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/26/2014 7:41 pm Indian, the gold coins are Fanams, the second is quite a common one. Please provide better picture for identification (at least for the first and last one). Report this Post to the Staff
Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 11/26/2014 8:22 pm The first seems to be an issue of Tipu Sultan, but need a larger picture. The second one is a Vira Raya type Fanam struck ~1450-1700 in Southern India or Sri Lanka -> http://coins.lakdiva.org/kotte/kott...nama_au.html The third is another Vira Raya type Fanam but struck later and very similar ones by different princely states in India.
