PANDYAN COINS. 
Kulasekara's name is the first given in the Sthala Fnrana 
list. It occurs also in the Vikramangalam inscriptions, 
where he is said to have ascended the Pandyan throne ahout 
the year corresponding to A.I>. 1200 and to have niled 
about 13 years. The Ceylon type reverse seems to confirm 
the supposition that the Kulasekara of this coin " must have 
been a successor of the king of the same name who was 
conquered and then restored by Parakrama." ^ 
Fig. 6. Obverse. — A dwarfed sitting Singalese-Chola 
figure having before its face the Tamil legend 0<f/7-@su,tld sir 
Sokultman. Below the legend are too little fishes similar 
to those shown in fig. 1 . 
Reverse. — The conventional Ceylon figure. 
Another name unknown to lists, inscriptions and tradition.' 
Fig. 7. Obverse. — Legend in Tamil (^evQ^sjreisr Kulase- 
karan ; above, a small figm-e probably the tutelary deity of 
the sovereign. This figure has on one side of it the anku- 
sam, and on the other the chamara or switch of horse-tail 
used as an emblem of royal dignity. 
Reverse. — Ceylon-figure. 
This coin, as well as the one which follow, belong, doubt- 
less, to the same Kulasekaran referred to above in connec- 
tion with fig. 5. 
Fig. 8. Obmrse. — The Tamil legend @6u<2<F«-!r Kulase- 
kara above the conventional sceptre between two fishes. 
Reverse. — Elephant to left -ndthin a border of heavy dots. 
In another specimen which I have, nearly the whole of 
the body of the elephant appears, and above it is a legend in 
four letters, not Tamil, which I have not been able to read 
myself, nor have I been able to find any one who could aid 
me in so doing.
