Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 08/07/2013 11:05 pm Thanks DHC for finding some of the coins, I have some more coins I don't know anything about. These ones are very little, and still have relatively good quality! 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 Edited by Kingz 08/08/2013 3:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

drnsreedhar Pillar of the Community India 1995 Posts	Posted 09/08/2013 3:37 pm Most of the coins are now identified. No.18 is a Maratha confederacy coin usually known as "chhatrapati Sivaji" coin. Regarding coin no. 15, I prefer to disagree with the "ancient ceylon" identification. That belongs to Rajaraja Chola (AD.985-1015), a Chola king who built the famous temple at Tanjavoor. And on the coins of 11,12,13 and 14, here is what I can offer. The identification of the Pulicat mint coin is very precise.The top right image cannot be put anywhere I know of.For the Sivaganga coin, on the other side of the coin, it is the image of "Sivalinga" an auspicious religious symbol of Hinduism.
