Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 04/07/2019 09:46 am Nice rarer ruler there Wular! ... Tribhuvana Gupta ruled for approx 1 year 973-974/5 AD.. He was one of the infamous Queen Didda Rani's grandsons whom she probably had tortured and killed to fulfill her own desire to become sole ruler... I've placed a photo of my example for comparison.. Very nice coin!...Paul Report this Post to the Staff
Wular New Member India 16 Posts	Posted 04/16/2019 03:17 am Can anyone help with any bibliography or references concerning the coin denominations of the early medieval Hindu kings of Kashmir starting from Toramanas? Many thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff
Wular New Member India 16 Posts	Posted 04/16/2019 03:22 am Also, Alexander Cunningham reports that he has in his collection white metal coins issued by Didda, Ananta, Kalasa and Sangrama deva. Wonder if they have silver impurities or trimetallic in composition. Have anyone come across such specimens? Report this Post to the Staff

Wular New Member India 16 Posts	Posted 04/16/2019 07:44 am A Sankara varman coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 04/17/2019 1:51 pm Wulhar coin 1 could well clean up quite nicely with a soak but I don't know your views on cleaning coins.. The reverse of coin 2 is really interesting showing 3 dots in a line below the Varma. I've not seen this before so thanks for sharing..

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 04/18/2019 10:56 am Circling back to the question of the lion on the Toramana staters, I believe that iconography was actually lifted from Gupta "lion slayer" staters: https://www.cNGCoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=43526 Report this Post to the Staff

Palouche Pillar of the Community Spain 2752 Posts	Posted 08/24/2019 12:26 pm At the moment I'm in the process of setting up a website dedicated to this series and would like to have a section devoted to the script/legends with detailed breakdowns etc..But thought I'd set up some simple identification pages first that might help complete beginners attribute some of the more common coins and see what Feedback I receive...Are they useful?..Easy to understand? Layout?..More info needed?.. etc.. Any thoughts appreciated...Paul Edited by Palouche 08/24/2019 1:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 08/24/2019 1:16 pm Very useful and clear - my suggestion would be to include examples without the script highlighted in red, so we can give our new IDing skills a test. Edited by Ben 08/24/2019 1:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Here are 8 coins all misattributed...They are all one of the 4 types identified above...Lets see if it works...Paul Edited by Palouche 08/24/2019 5:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
