<p>[QUOTE="navin, post: 3525884, member: 103579"][USER=57364]@THCoins[/USER], great to have a discussion with you and everyone. It has been mentioned somewhere that the hand of king is holding a diadem (floral crown of royalty), which gives it a circular shape in some of the older coins. If it is a hand, then it might indicate the fingers with the thumb and index finger in opponens position(anatomical description of thumb - index finger movements). Somewhere here it was mentioned to have an octopus shape with flames of altar. The size varies considerably and it sometimes becomes out of proportion to the body(disproportionate depiction has been common practice in this part of the ancient world). A bigger hand symbolically might also indicate the great power of King. </p><p>The shape besides the king's leg might be Jaya(in ?Brahmi) as mentioned in some places. Please correct me if wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
