572 DESCRIPTION OF SELECT COINS. 



like a banner in this than in the former, and looks as if it were upheld by 

 the right hand. Colonel Tod calls it a trophy, the ancient Grecian or 

 Roman standard, the eagle with expanded wings on a staff. It has the 

 characters of a Roman standard, but the type is not like an eagle : it is 

 more like a goose — it is very probably, however, Garura, whilst the figure 

 is that of Vishnu or Rama, the latter being characterised by the bow. 



The plate is from the drawing of a Coin in the Cabinet of the late 

 Colonel WlLLOUGHBY. 



Plate I. Figure 14. 

 A Gold Coin. 



Obverse. — Male figure as in the last, but in a more 

 energetic attitude : the right hand extends rather beyond the 

 trophy : the characters on the right are not within the face 

 of the Coin : others, of a less certain description, occur on 

 the left. 



Reverse.— Female figure as in the last ; monogram : the 

 same characters distinct, but unknown, though possibly 

 ancient Nagari.

This is the same Coin essentially as the last, but of ruder execution, 

 or it has been less carefully delineated. The plate is from a drawing of a 

 Coin in the possession of Mr. Bee. 



Plate I. Figure 15.
