1898.] M. M. Chakravarti— Dafe of gold coins from Angul. 195 



Similarly I would correct Dr. Hultzsch's readings in Nos. 24, 25 

 and 30 to 24, 27, and 2 for 34, 37, and 3. His No. 33 is not legible in 

 the autotype. 



The coins have been named as " Hoonas." Huna is a general word 

 in Orissa and Ganjam for small old coins. Correctly they would be 

 " fanaras," l/lOth of " Marhas." The existence of these coins I deduced 

 from the Madala Panji and others, in my article on Troy Weights of 

 Orissa (J. A. S. B., 1892, pp. 44-5). Since then the Marhas have been 

 found mentioned in copper-plate inscriptions of the king Nrsimha Deva 

 IV. (J. A. S. B., 1895, pp. 150 and 153), and in many inscriptions in 

 the fri Kurmarh temple, Chicacole, transcripts of most of which I 

 secured 5 or 6 years back. Nos. 24 and 25 of Dr. Hultzsch's list I 

 would identify as Marhas. 



The coins show that in the times of Rajaraja and Codagaqga many 

 of the letters and figures had approached modern Oriya types. Hence 

 they appear to me very interesting.
