<p>[QUOTE=&quot;THCoins, post: 7564698, member: 57364&quot;][USER=84744]@Severus Alexander[/USER], Can not tell you much about the chaitya symbol unfortunately. But the specimen you marked as Rudrasena I is actually of Rudrasimha II, so far later.</p><p>At the top the ruler is stated as &quot;SwaMi JiVaDaMa PuTraSa&quot;, so son of Jivadaman. Rudrasena I did succeed a Jivadaman, but that was his uncle not his father. In addition, the sole &quot;svami&quot; indicates that this Jivadaman was not of royal blood.</p><p>Also there is a J like character behind the portrait. That is the century mark. The small lateral extension means that this is 200, the character behind that is 30. So the date is 23x in the Saka era.</p><p>Lastly, if you compare the calligraphy of your 2nd and 3rd coin, that of the second is less elegant. This is typical for a later ruler.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
