A variant of this ambiguous symbol is on the Reverse 
of a Punch-marked coin, in the cabinet of the Royal 
Asiatic Society. 
Two crescents with either convex surfaces touching. 
Not uncommon on coins from Benares with symbol 
of ‘ plumed warrior.’ 
An object that Sir Walter Elliot calls an Altar. 
N.G., p. 247. To me it is more suggestive of 
either an oil-mill or a rice-husking mortar. Above 
it is a horizontal stroke representing the ‘ pestle ’ 
used in either case. N.G., XI, fig. 97. 
Four balls in a cirele. N.G., XI, fig. 103. 
Two rings, separated by an indistinct upright object. 
N.G., X, fig. 67. 
A variant of a Stupa, within three lined squares. 
N.G., IX, fig. 53. 
A heraldic Lion or ‘ Griffin.’ On some coins figured 
by Sir Walter Elliot, a Griffin seems to take the 
place of the sublunary Lion. N.G., IX, figs. 48, 
50, 52, 61, 62. 
An upright sword. N.G., IX, 50. 
An upright pointed staff, with three diminishing 
cross-bars. N.G., IX, fig. 50. 
Three triple umbrellas or Chattras, produced above 
into a point, within a rayed circle. N.G., IX, 
fig. 48. 
Bow and arrow. N.G., IX, fig. 61. 
Bow and arrow. A.I, XII, fig. 6. An Andhra 
symbol. 
A bow within a ring surrounded by seven inverted 
crescents. N.G., X, fig. 84. 
Sun on left, crescent on right, separate by a Y-shaped 
ornament with an inverted crescent below and sur¬ 
mounted by ‘ Taurine,’ with a pair of dots above 
and below. N.G., IX, fig. 56. 
Sir Walter Elliot describes the central object as a 
“sword of the peculiar short form so often repre¬ 
sented on Hindoo sculptures.” (p. 239). I can see 
not the remotest resemblance to a sword, the object 
possessing neither handle nor point. 
A sun (wheel) on a pole with a crescent above. N.G., 
IX, fig. 61. 
A ‘ Ratth’ or Idol car. N.G., IX, fig. 62. 
An upright dagger-shaped object occupying the 
field, and resting on a beaded base. N.G., IX, 
fig. 60. 
A Cordate area partitioned into four divisions. (S). 
NG., X, fig 63. 
Is it possible that the ‘ Bale-mark’ of the E.I.C. can 
be borrowed from this device ? 
A ring within a ring, with fourteen crescentic rays 
radiating from the periphery. N.G., X, fig. 86. 
A two masted ship. N.G., X, fig. 74. Reverse 
symbol No. 236, E.N.O., II, fig. 45. Andhyas. 
A boat or ‘dng-out’ laden with produce (?) with a 
curbed line below to signify water, all within a 
ring surrounded by eighteen radiating oval objects. 
N.G., X, fig. 89.
