Reverse ; a dehgope of three tiers surmounted by a crescent, by 

 its side the sacred tree, below which is the wavy line supposed to 

 designate water* with dots in the undulations. 



These are large leaden pieces, weighing grains 105*7 and 11 6 75 

 and of indifferent execution, the figure of the horse being rude 

 and stiff. 



Figs. 92, 96, and 98, obverse ; a horse with a legend extending 

 round the whole periphery : reverse ; the four-armed chakram. 



These which are also of lead, are found in the Guntoor district, 

 about Dipaldinni and its neighbourhood. They are only half the 

 size of the preceding specimen, and the design is remarkably good, 

 but owing to the softness of the metal few of the letters retain their 

 sharpness. The weight of the two larger pieces is, of the one, 

 grains 82*2, of the other 59-75 that of the smaller or quarter pieces 

 like fig. 98, is grains 14-1 to 20 and 22. 



Figs. 93 and 97, are square copper coins, locality whence pro- 

 cured unknown. In execution and faulty design they resemble the 

 Cuddapah specimens. The symbol in front of the horse in fig. 97 

 appears to be an altar ; the design on the reverse is an ornamental 

 band. They weigh grains 51*35 and 60*3. 



Fig. 94, is a circular coin of white metal found at the same time 

 and place, and in all respects similar to the bull coin fig. 78. 



Obverse ; a horse with a sphere in front and a small portion of 

 the letters of a legend visible above. 



Reverse ; the base of the sacred tree and a part of a dehgope 

 only visible, with the line designating water below, as in figs. 

 91 and 99 ; weight grains 39*75. 



Fig. 95, a small copper coin from an uncertain locality. 



Obverse ; a rude figure of a horse : reverse ; a padma or lotus. 

 Miscellaneous From fig. 100 to 108 are coins of a miscella- 

 Types. neous character but of Buddhist origin. 



Fig. 100 and 101, in lead, have on the obverse, a dehgope, below 

 which is the symbol of water, and the latter a svastika in addition, 

 with a legend much defaced. From Dipaldinni where they are 

 tolerably common ; weight from 70 to 90 grains.
