TuckHard Posted May 5, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 5, 2023 I think it was a misread on the six hours (unless I am mistaken and that is a private coin), but I have something to play for this anyways. The griffin is barely visible, unfortunately, but I think it's my only griffin coin.

JayAg47 Posted May 6, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 6, 2023 Got this from eBay, misattributed to Cholas. However, it's a rare Pandyan issue with some interesting elements, on the obverse there's the unassuming Chola style standing king, but the reverse shows a couple of fishes (Pandian emblem) in the middle surrounded by the legends Ellanthalaiyan. Most agree on the issuer being Jatavarman Sundara Pandya 1251 CE–1268 CE, with the title Ellanthalaiyan (Ellam (all/everyone) -thalaiyan (leader), meaning 'Leader of all' after subjgating Cholas and other southern kingdoms of India. I have seen many pronunciation/spelling of this title varying from each auction houses and blogs, however I have traced the lettering to the best of my knowledge and got எல்லாந்தலையன் (Ellanthalaiyan), old Tamil script doesn't have dots, so while it reads Elalaanathalaiyana, people back in the day would've still read it as Ellanthalaiyan, but what's interesting is the letters ந் and த being retrograde (the ones near the tails of the fish), which is curious given how these coin types have used Boustrophedon in their lettering. Next- a coin that got you into a rabbit hole. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
