Greetings to all, I have this gold fanam and I'm having trouble classifying it. I think it could be from Sri Lanka, from the Kingdom of Kandy. It's quite different from the other fanams I've managed to classify in my collection. Thank you my friends.
I can suggest a book.. I had to borrow it so regret not longer have it on hand "Gold Fanams 1336-2000" by Hans Herrli (2006)
Not my area, but certainly is similar to a number of Sri Lanka Fanams. I use Zeno for this sort of thing. If the link works, this should show 17 pages of Sri Lanka Fanams, and even the first page has several close matches: https://www.zeno.ru/search.php?searchid=182735
Possibly this one: https://www.zeno.ru/showphoto.php?photo=74283 Rajas of Kandy, Sinhala AV fanam, Vira raya type, ND
