<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 8196844, member: 57364&quot;]Interesting ongoing research !</p><p><br /></p><p>This sentence makes me wonder. You already put the word &quot;official&quot; between parentheses. And i think that would be correct as this is considered basically a private trade coinage which allowed commerce to traverse the bounderies of multiple small states.</p><p>So should the Chittaraja coinage not be seen as the opposite: a (likely failed) attempt at government control of a private coinage ? The legend on the coin would imply so, as it reads &quot;Sri CChiTTa RaJaSya&quot;. The &quot;-Sya&quot; declension is remarkable. Usually on period coinage there is just a name/title. The &quot;-Sya&quot; states that this is the coinage &quot;OF Chittaraja&quot;, thus appears an attempt to stress its legal status ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
