<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Quant.Geek, post: 2262147, member: 74799&quot;][USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]: What a complicated and greatly misunderstood coin!&nbsp; There are too many conflicting attributions for that coin.&nbsp; Desikachari, Biddulph, and Chattopadhyaya attributed it to the Cholas.&nbsp; R. Nagaswamy and Ganesh attributed these to the Madurai Nayakas.&nbsp; And Mitchiner attributes these coins to Perunjiya Pallavas of Sendamangalam who ruled during 1221-1278 in Salem district.</p><p><br /></p><p>My personal preference is to attribute this to Perunjiya Pallavas of Sendamangalam.&nbsp; Nagaswamy&#039;s reasoning for attributing this to the Madurai Nayakas is just too weak...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
