| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude depiction of the deity Shiva seated alongside Parvati, both facing forward, rendered in the characteristic granular, highly stylized manner typical of South Indian gold fanams. The figures occupy the entire field, with relief elements formed by irregular pellets and lumps of gold, reflecting the archaic hammered fabric of these diminutive coins. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Haidar Ali seized effective control of Mysore in 1761 without ever holding the title of raja — he was a military commander who outmaneuvered the Wodeyar dynasty administratively and politically, ruling as de facto sovereign while maintaining a thin fiction of Wodeyar legitimacy. These fanams circulated during his campaigns against the Marathas, the Nizam of Hyderabad, and the British East India Company across all four Anglo-Mysore Wars' predecessor conflicts. The fanam denomination itself had roots in South Indian coinage centuries older than Mysore's regional power.
