royalty of the Telugu portion of his father's kingdom reigned at 

 the seat of the Chola power in the south, where these coins are 

 chiefly found, Nos. 12 to 21 having all been procured fromTanjore 

 and South Arcot. 



Fig. 21. Copper. Obverse, a boar as in fig. 20, with a pillar or 

 lamp in front, an umbrella above, and a scroll underneath. Re- 

 verse, the rude standing figure characteristic of the southern or 

 Ceylon type of coins, with four balls and a 'sank'h shell under the 

 left arm. This reverse, peculiar to the coins of the south, stamps 

 it as belonging to a Chola-Chalukya prince but to which of them, 

 in the absence of name or characteristic symbol, it is impossible to 

 determine. Weight grains 44*75. 



Figs. 22, 23, 24 and 25 are very rude copper coins. All have 

 the boar on the obverse, the first with the addition of a sword. The 

 reverse of 22 is imperfect and appears to be a scroll. That of 23 

 has a cross round which are drawn two circles. On 24 is a sinha 

 or lion, connecting the boar type with that represented in Plate ix 

 of No. 1. The reverse of 25 has some resemblance to the symbol 

 on fig. 1. 



They weigh grains 32*25, 25*23, 55 and 33*125. 



Figs. 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31, all of copper, constitute a new 

 class pertaining to a dynasty unconnected either with the Chaluk- 

 ya or Chalukya-Chola families. All have the boar obverse, per- 

 taining to these families, but the legends on the reverse are in Ta- 

 mil characters. 



Fig. 26. Is the most typical and characteristic of the series and 

 supplies data for assigning a rnace to the others. The obverse has 

 the two fish and crozier of the Pandyan kings and altho' the let - 

 ters are almost obliterated — on a comparison with others of the same 

 prince, they can be identified as giving the name &je <siru[r astir u?.uj6or 

 Sundara Pdndiyan one of the later sovereigns of that dynasty, who 

 appears to have vanquished the Cholas shortly before their final 

 extinction. His grants are extant throughout the whole of the 

 Tamil country. We find several of them occurring at Conjevaram,
