Dharmaskoka Deva 1208-1209

Thanks Bob. I know that the "octopus" is actually the king sitting on his throne surrounded by treasures and sacred objects, but I wonder if those have been identified definitively anywhere.

As I look at my coin, by the king's left foot it looks like a lotus plant and by his right side, it looks like a tree (or maybe a fish skeleton). In his left hand, there could be a bird. Is any of that right? What do those five circles represent on his left side?

[edit: Now that I look more closely, it looks to me like the lotus plant has a blossom by the king's left foot and then the stalk goes all the way over to his right foot, where there is a lotus root.]

yeah well to you.

Here is what I was thinking:




The lotus plant is red, the tree is green, the bird is blue, the circles are gold, and some mystery item is pink.

Love it, I was almost tempted to get one of these myself a few weeks back...

Great pick up :)

Ron, thanks for splitting out this post--I didn't mean to hijack yours...
