| Aversbeschreibung | Formalised Viraraya type design in the highly stylised late Vijayanagara tradition. The field displays a schematic rendering of a crowned figure reduced to geometric abstraction, with a tiered crown surmounted by a row of triangular points visible in the upper portion, flanked by elongated curved elements suggesting royal regalia. Below, a semicircular arch encloses a stylised body, consistent with the Herrli-1.06.05 ff classification of this fanam type. The design is executed in low relief on an irregular flan typical of hammered gold coinage of the period. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Highly stylised and schematic reverse design characteristic of late Vijayanagara gold fanam coinage. The central field features a grid-like arrangement of raised pellets or granules forming a rectangular cluster, likely a conventionalised representation of a deity or royal symbol reduced to near-abstract form. Above the pellet matrix, a small globule and a curved linear element are visible, possibly representing a head or parasol motif. To the right, a series of parallel horizontal bars or striations appear in relief. The overall composition is executed in low hammered relief on an irregularly shaped flan. |

Madakari Nayaka II ruled Chitradurga as a feudatory of the declining Vijayanagara successor states, a period when actual imperial authority had effectively collapsed following the catastrophic defeat at Talikota in 1565. By the 1670s, local Nayaka chiefs were striking their own gold in all but name independent polities, yet continued attributing issues to the Vijayanagara imperial framework — a political fiction that carried legitimating weight even a century after the empire's real power had evaporated.
Fanams of this type circulated widely in South Indian bazaar trade, their tiny fractional weight calibrated to local commodity exchange rather than any imperial monetary system.
