| Aversbeschreibung | Central device depicting a stylized Sheshnag (multi-headed cobra) in high relief, shown frontally with a spread hood composed of multiple serpent heads arranged in a fan-like formation above a body represented as a rounded, shield-like form. The design is surrounded by a border of raised pellets distributed around the irregular flan, characteristic of South Indian hammered fanam coinage. The execution is bold and schematic, reflecting the artistic conventions of Maratha-period small gold coinage. |

The Ghorpade chiefs of Gutti and Venkatagiri operated as Maratha tributaries in the Deccan, their minting rights functioning as a marker of regional autonomy within an increasingly fractured imperial structure. Murari Rao Ghorpade held Gutti fort until its cession to Hyder Ali in 1779, after which Venkatagiri became the family's primary seat — a shift that likely affected which mint produced these fanams and under what authority.
At 0.9 grams and 5 mm across, the fanam was the workhorse denomination of South Indian gold coinage, used in temple transactions and local trade where larger Mughal or British issues were impractical.
