OK, thanks

is it a gold coin? I'm surprised!!!!! as it is so small, I think it's value is not too much. Can you tell me?
The earlier fanams were made of gold but the gold content decreased gradually and the later ones were made of silver.
They are one of the smallest coins with a weight of approx. 0.4 gm
They are quite cheap. One must be careful while purchasing these coins as they have been heavily forged for decades. Some are good gold while some are just gold washed base metal
