About the fanam/puttun/chuckram of Cochin [solved]

3 posts
Hello,

There is something I’ve been wondering about. Does the Cochin puttun (KM# 1) have only one design or are there variants? I think this (https://www.numismall.com/acc/Silver-fanam-puttun-from-Cochin-or-another-mint-in-Malabar-18th-19th-century-Southern-India-w339941.html) and this (https://www.numiscorner.com/products/india-princely-states-chuckram-1729-km-1-ms63-silver-7-0-37) are the same, both KM #1, but on Numista the design seems to be different (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces63618.html) and I can’t tell if they’re all the same. The issuing years vary sometimes on other sites, too, so does the coin’s orientation, and I’m rather confused now...

Travancore! That makes sense - thank you!
