| Beschrijving voorzijde | A highly stylized Shardula (mythical lion creature) depicted in profile walking to the right, rendered in the characteristically schematic South Indian fanam style. A crescent symbol appears above the figure. The lower field is occupied by a row of raised pellets or globules arranged in an arc, a common decorative border element on Hoysala fanams. The overall design is bold and summarily executed, consistent with the small flan and hammered production technique. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized Varaha (sacred boar, avatar of Vishnu) depicted in profile moving to the right, with a distinctly rendered snout, ear, and curved tusk visible. Below the animal figure, the field is filled with a rectangular arrangement of raised pellets or globules in multiple rows, a hallmark decorative motif of Hoysala gold fanams. The design is executed in the typical schematic, high-relief style of South Indian medieval coinage, with an irregular flan edge characteristic of hammered production. |

The Fanam circulated across South India for the better part of eight centuries, produced by successive dynasties — Hoysala, Vijayanagara, and later regional successor states — often with minimal modification to the basic type. Attribution to any single issuer within that span is rarely straightforward, and "Hoysala" classifications are frequently applied broadly to early medieval Kannada-region gold of this fabric rather than as a precise dynastic identification. The Hoysala dynasty itself collapsed after the Tughluq invasions of the 1320s, leaving the later end of this date range to entirely different political hands.
