 Gold Coins. 



Obverse. — A figure of Vishnu as Venkata Ramana. 



Reverse. — On two of them a legend, the first part of 

 which in one is distinctly ^ipf^^ ; on the third, the reverse

These Coins are not uncommon : the drawings are made from some in 

 the possession of the Society or in mine : they were struck by Venkata-

 of the Coins of the Vyayanagar dynasty, there are others still current in 

 the South of India in very considerable numbers, which bear at least the 

 names of some of the princes, particularly Krishna Raya : some of these 

 are given by Major Moor, and others are noticed in the Catalogue 

 of Colonel Mackenzie's Coins. See Mackenzie Collection, Vol. 2.
