Wow sorry I broke your rule, but maybe you can go sit on a hot water bottle and I’ll put you on ignore and hopefully you’ll do the same

 

Here are two "Chola" coins:

India, Imperial Cholas, Raja Raja, circa AD 985-1014 during the Chola occupation of Ceylon, Æ kahavanu
Obv: King seated right, holding up a lotus; Devanagari legend Raja/ Raja to right
Rev: King standing facing, holding up a lotus, flanked by lamp and orbs

And a nicer "Chola style" coin from the period after the Singhalese took back control from the Cholas.
Ceylon, Sahasa Malla, 1200-1202, Æ massa,
Obv (right): King seated right, with left arm raised; Nagari (Brahmi script family) legend below arm: Sri/mat Sa/hasa/ Mala
Rev (left): Standing king in centre, with lamp at left and globes at right

Next: more non-Roman, non-Greek

 

Dude, we're playing a game here. It was a direct but accurate response to the situation from andres2.
I tried to click on your Pic to help you despite the goofiness, and before your agro response, and it doesn't even take me anywhere.

Next up: bronze Celtic

 

But this isn’t a coin ID help thread (the title clearly says GAME; the first page of this thread also clearly has the rules outlined). If you want help with a coin’s ID then make a separate thread.

 

@Sulla80, thanks Lots for providing these incredibly solid Chola examples. The level of detail for both of them is really worth a second look.
(...I only ever had one representative example. Going back to the distant mists of the 1980s or '90s, all I know is that there are no pics. Not even sure if I still have the coin --Hope so.)

 

Hi @Andres2,

I stand corrected. Of course you are correct.
