Cabinet of the Indian Museum contains three gold coins, two 

 large and one small. 1 Several private collections are also 

 known to contain Chandella gold coinage, especially those of 

 Madanavarman and Paramarddin. But silver coins of tin 

 dynasty are very little known. Cunningham has referred to a 

 single silver coin of Jayavarman, 5 son of Sallaksanavarman and 

 cousin of Madanavarman * 



Like the gold coinage, the silver coins also are divided into 

 two classes:— (1) the larger and (2) the smaller. The larger 

 coins vary in weight from 60 to 62*75 grains Troy. The 

 smaller also vary in weight from 1417 to 16-07 grains. They 

 are exact copies of the larger and smaller issues in gold, the 

 obverse having the legend 



(1) S'riman-Ma- 



(2) *dana-varmma 



in two lines instead of three and the reverse the seated goddess 

 as on the coins of Gangeyadeva.
