Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/03/2015 6:54 pm At a first glace the coins don't look like Chola coins. 'Rajaraja' was not an area but rather an inscription on the coins. The top one is certainly Indian, with left facing bull on it. Please post better and well numbered (or separate) pictures of each coin (both sides), that will help to identify yours.

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/03/2015 7:33 pm Let me add that the top coin belongs to a long line of "Samanta Deva" (inscription above the bull) coinage, to determine the exact type would depend on how well the reverse can be interpreted. (I have several examples spanning several centuries and various regions.) Report this Post to the Staff
