Karsha, Karsha and half-Karsha pieces, bat there are few 
symbols on them. 
A variant of the ‘ Taurine ’ in Dr. Codrington’s opinion, fig. 64 : 
the right hand figure. 
A quadrefoil object; fig. 64; the left hand figures. 
A curious symbol which may be described as a sphere within a 
ring, from which two small spheres are suspended, each by two 
lines or bands. The Reverse of all is blank. 
COINS FROM THE KONKAN. 
The silver coins figured on the same plate as the above by Sir W. 
Elliot (fig, 61) are of an entirely different type and as they 
weigh only a trifle over fourteen grains, are quarter-Karsha 
pieces. I have described some of them in the Jour. As. Soc. 
Bengal for 1894, Part I, No. 2, from which I now extract the 
following symbols. 
A twelve-rayed sun, the rays being long and equal to the radius 
of the disk, whence they issue as sharply tapering rays. This 
symbol only occurs on one of my coins (2103), and seems to 
have been cut on the same die as the other symbols, which 
intentionally seem to overlie it; if this is not so, it is the older 
impression. 
A humped Bull, walking to the 1., the horns forming a crescent on 
the top of the head. Beneath the Ball is a solid square mound, 
or ‘ chabufcra,’ and below it an oblong object representing a 
tank twice as long as broad, and not quite as broad as the 
square above. 
A small ‘ Triskelis ’ revolving to the 1., over the Bull’s rump. 
An upright Staff in front of the Bull. 
On either side of the ‘ chabutra ’ (on some coins) is a ‘ Taurine’ 
laid horizontally, with the cusps directed from it. (2102). 
Behind the ‘ Triskelis ’ on the right is a small ‘ Swastika,’ re¬ 
volving to the left. 
Between the ‘Swastika’ and the ‘ Taurine ' on some coins is a 
small lined square. 
On the left of the Triskelis is a dot in a circle. (2103). 
A variant of No. 126 formed of four tricuspid * Taurines,’ that is 
each, Taurine has a median prong between the ‘ cusps ’ with 
four dots between the ‘ Taurines.’ N.O., 11, fig. 61, figured by 
Sir W. Elliot. (2102). 
A rude ‘ Stupa ’ of three tiers, with a crescent above and a Tau¬ 
rine at the side. 
Some branching, cactus-like plant. 
A Hare within a circle, round which are some letters, one of which 
resembles the Gandharian * ri.’ (Dr. Codrington).
