59 
Rev. Nearly same as ohv. of silver chuckram. 
A.V. Weight 5-7. Size. -325 (Elliot, 190.191; 
TufneliSO, 2-4) 
Colonel Horsley in 1839 said it was "same value as 
Anauta raya fanam but different device." The name seems 
to mean " the noble or superior Easi." There appear to 
have been many issues with minute differences in the dies. 
32. Nama'panam, Vaishnava sectarian mark Fanam, is so 
called from the resemblance of part of the device to the V 
shaped mark used on the foreheads of Yaishnavites. It 
seems but slightly different from No. 31. See figures of a 
number of such coins in Malabar by Captain Tufnell in 
Jour. Asiat. Soc. Bengal No. 2., 1886. 
AV. Weight 5-75. Size -31. 
33. Kali panam, Travancore Cullian Fanam. 
Obv. Like that of the silver chuckram.

dots above and one between the lines and one in the angle. 
AV. Weight 5-5. Size. 325 (Tufnell 3-5; Plate I., 
fig. 8. 
Coined in M. E- 820 (1744-5). Half a century ago it had 
become very rare but was still largely used in calculation 
as equal to 4 chuckrams. It has been re-coined and is 
procurable at the Treasury for 4 cks 3 cash. The name 
appears to mean " inferior fanam."

Not unlike design of previous coin.

Current in Shencottah.
