Highlights

The moniker "Viraraya" originally traces back to Hoysala or Vijayanagara roots, but the design was widely copied, adapted, and minted by local Nayakas (such as the Chitradurga or Jinji Nayakas) and the Wodeyar dynasty of Mysore. A Ganesh motif on a fanam indicates an issue meant to establish religious legitimacy or mark a special administrative milestone near regional borders like Tamil Nadu and southern Karnataka
