<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JayAg47, post: 5217076, member: 112342&quot;]In my pursuit of collecting the coins of Chola and their neighbours, this is my first coin from their rival, Pandya, that I got last year. While this coin looks similar to the 10th century Chola &#039;octopus man&#039; stater (~4g), this coin is from the 13th century after their independence from Cholas, and it is much smaller at only 0.93g, and much harder to come by! since then I added a couple more coins from this kingdom.</p><p>The obv depicts the king sniffing a lotus, and has the Tamil letters சுந்த (su-n-da) denoting his name/title! the worn rev has the typical standing king.</p><p>Maravarman Sundara Pandya I (1216–1238 CE)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1215929[/ATTACH]</p><p>Continue the theme.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
