Madras fanam

The fanam (or panam[1] in the local language of Tamil) was a currency issued by the Madras Presidency until 1815.

It circulated alongside the Indian rupee, also issued by the Presidency.

After 1815, only coins of the rupee currency system were issued.

Fanams were also issued in Travancore, worth 1/7 of a rupee, whilst in Danish India the fano was issued, worth 1/8 rupee, and in French India the fanon was issued, worth 1/8 rupee.
