About the Item

Comes with certificate which guarantees authenticity and provides background information (listed below) on the acquired coin. Price is for ONE pendant hand set in 18k gold. These coins were bought from a leading US ancient coin dealer. NOTE: I have a couple of these set and ready to go. Please email me if you want to pick the one you like most (info@peregrinependants. com) Gold Rajahs of Coachin, fanam Obverse: stylized boar standing right right, The legs represented by the rows of dots Reverse: stylized lion (sardula) standing right, crescent above Mint: between 1600 and 1750 AD in Coachin The Travancore Fanam was a type of money that was issued by the State of Travancore, now mainly a part of Kerala in South India. The Fanams (also spelt Fanoms) and Chuckrams (or Chakrams) were known to be some of the smallest coins in the world. The word Fanam appears to be an Anglo-Germanic sound shift from the word Panam, which means money in Dravidian languages. Historically, the Fanam and Chuckram coins were the regular unit of currency in medieval Travancore and appear to have been extensively used for trading in the region of South India. The words Fanam and Panam literally mean money and are still used as a synonym for wealth in Kerala in the native language of Malayalam Follow on Instagram **** Why buy from us? I see a lot of pre-made bezels, that are made for modern coins passing as "handmade" jewelry. Each of our coins is carefully handset in a custom made bezel which takes time and skill.

Excellent gold coin - see picture with US Quarter for scale (also shows smaller gold Indian coins I have for sale). Comes with certificate which guarantees authenticity and provides background information (listed below) on the acquired coin. Indian, Post-Kushan (Jammu and Kashmir) - Kidarite Successors, Vinayaditya Obverse: abstract Kushan style king standing left; ka in Brahmi to left; to right, jaya and monogram of Kidara in Brahmi Reverse: Abstract Ardoxsho seated facing, holding filleted investiture garland and cornucopia; ditya in Brahmi to left, śri vinaya in Brahmi down right Struck 5th-7th century The Kidarites, or Kidara Huns, were a dynasty that ruled Bactria and adjoining parts of Central Asia and South Asia in the 4th and 5th centuries. The Kidarites belonged to a complex of peoples known collectively in India as the Huna, and in Europe as the Chionites (from the Iranian names Xwn/Xyon), and may even be considered as identical to the Chionites. The 5th century Byzantine historian Priscus called them Kidarite Huns, or "Huns who are Kidarites". The Huna/Xionite tribes are often linked, albeit controversially, to the Huns who invaded Eastern Europe during a similar period. They are entirely different from the Hephthalites, who replaced them about a century later. Ardoksho (Bactrian script Αρδοχϸο), also Romanised as Ardochsho, Ardokhsho and Ardoxsho, the Iranic goddess of wealth was a female deity of the Kushan Empire...

Here is some more info regarding the coins found on Acsearch "KINGS of AXUM (Aksum). Ouazebas. Circa 350-400 AD. Æ 18mm (2.20 gm). OVAZEBAC BACI ΛEΨC, draped bust right wearing headcloth, flanked by grain ears / +TOV TO APECH TH XWPA, small draped bust right in circle; the interior of the circle gilt. Munro-Hay 54; BMC Aksum 245. Near VF, some earthen patina." "One of the most curious aspects of Axumite coinage is the use of gilding on some of their silver and bronze coins. The amount of gold used would not be enough to significantly change the value of the coin, and the reason for this process remains somewhat a mystery. It is usually found highlighting the portrait of the king or as an embellishment of the cross, so it may serve the same purpose as gold tesserae in church mosaics...
