In design the coins are all alike. The margin is formed by a circle 
of dots. On the obverse is the crude figure of some animal, and on the 
reverse, the legend. 
The legends are the following : — 
I. Jajalla (PI. IX, 15-19). it. Ratna Deva (PI. IX, 20, 21.) 
=5ftoo5|T sri-maj-ja .m-rnad-ra 
isna^r jalla-deva. tna-deva. 
III. Prithvi Deva (PI. IX, fig. 22). 
M-mat-pri 
thvi-deva. 
The Jajalla coins of mixed metal show on the obverse of the large 
specimens the akshara AT md, on that of the small, W ma. On the ob- 
verse of the gold Jajalla and the gold Prithvi Deva, in the corresponding 
places, there is also some mark, which seems to be some akshara, it 
resembles the numeral figure 1 (5). 
What animal the figure on the obverse represents, I do not venture 
to say. At first, I thought it was the standing figure of Hanuman, 
and this opinion I expressed in my report, published in the Proceedings 
for April last, p. 92. This figure can be recognized, if one takes the coin 
(e. y.,the gold Prithvi Deva, PI. VII, fig. 22) with the reverse (legend) side 
facing, and then turns over the obverse side, side-ways, from the right to 
the left. The obverse side, as then presented to the spectator, shows a 
crude figure of Hanuman standing, with his head turned to the left 
(showing profile), body to front, and feet to right ; one of the two scrolls 
being his tail. The figure, of course, is very crude. 
But 1 have since found, that holding the obverse side in a different 
position, other figures can be made out ; and accordingly, I wish to with- 
draw, for the present, the conclusion which I drew from my recognition of 
the figure of Hanuman, in the April Proceedings, p. 93. If, instead of 
turning the gold Prithvi Deva side- ways, from right to left, it be turned 
downwards from top to bottom, the obverse side, as now presented to 
the spectator, shows a distinct small figure of an elephant, in the lower 
half of the coin. His head, on the right hand side, is quite clear ; his 
trunk is raised up and curves over ; within the curve is seen one of his 
tusks ; his body is encircled by a heavy chain (of the howdah) ; the up- 
turned tail is just seen on the left margin ; the fore-legs are partially 
visible, the hind-legs are cut away. This much is very clear, but what 
the marks on the upper half of the coin may mean, I cannot make out, 
unless they can somehow be' taken to represent a howdah. See No. 21 
on Plate IX. 
There is still a third possibility. Holding the obverse side, in nearly
