<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 2004196, member: 57364&quot;]Doug, what you show here is a Peroz I specimen as i would like to include at the root indeed. As you say, many people won&#039;t notice the differences. But mine don&#039;t clearly show all the pictorial design elements i think i would need to demonstrate the evolution of the type. </p><p>The open spaces were planned to have room for additions. The upper row needs a real early Chavada specimen. A bit like your specimen C. The two shown i think are nice illustrations of an intermediate and late specimen. The intermediate still has a moustache, eyebrow and hearknot, but the ear is already detatched.</p><p>I think i have the same problem you had where to put the &quot;curved head&quot; type. Looking at the design there are reasons to put it both after and before the more common Chaulukya type. I&#039;m hoping to find a intermediate type to decide on that.</p><p>Between the one labeled &quot;intermediate&quot; and the late ones labeled &quot;Vaghela&quot; i would want to put a specimen which already has the Vaghela head with square eyesocket but still some more remnants of the headdress.</p><p>However, the open spots now also function to separate customary categories. So it did not bother me to display it as is.</p><p>For a future project i might even make bit of an extension of this fairly linear descendance line to the turco-hephthalite family members, including the offspring which lead to the Pratihara-Pala type coins.</p><p>Another vague plan i have is to make an animation of the coins morphing over time. Also for that i would need some more intermediate types to prevent to many framejumps. Only other prerequisite: enough time.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
