    Cochin is an ancient trading port located near the southern tip of India.  It traded with the Romans in ancient times. Vasco da Gama set up a trading center in Cochin in 1502.   Over the years control of the region changed hands many times.  These tiny gold fannams were produced in Cochin from about 1795 to 1850, regardless of who was in control. The coins were popular with the natives as it allowed even the poor to be able to hoard gold. The coins are about 7 to 9mm in diameter and weigh between about .3 and .4 grams.   The design consists of a series of lines and dots.
