numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 06/28/2022 8:47 pm This is my first foray into medieval India. Thoughts? Thanks! India: Western Gangas. Gajapati Pagoda, ND (Circa 1080-1138AD). Fr-288. 3.90 grams. Medieval India. Elephant standing right. Reverse; Floral scroll. Well struck with a scrape on the elephants head. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

If anyone can help it would be great.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 12:10 am According to this site it says Mitchiner #702. Coin referenced looks very similar. https://coins.lakdiva.org/medievali...goda_au.html Numista also has it as Mitch #702 https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces61677.html These are references from a similar offered coin: Ganesh & Girijapathy, Karnataka -; cf. Mitchiner, South I 192-3; cf. MNI 702 (both refs for type); Adams IV 79.
