JayAg47 Posted February 7, 2023 · Member Share Posted February 7, 2023 Another Raja Raja Chola stater, however this one can be dated to around 988 AD. It commemorates his victory over the Chera kingdom, given the Cheras worshipped Vishnu and had the bow as their emblem, this coin has on the obverse bottom right the 'divine feet' of Vishnu and the emblem bow. The battle is dated to around 988 AD, Raja Raja's 4th regnal year, as evident from various inscriptions from 988 AD onward mentioning him as 'Kandalur salai kalamarutta' (meaning victor of the battle that occurred at Kandalur Salai, a place in Chera kingdom) or 'Keralanthagan' meaning one who put an end to the Keralas/Cheras. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(pp. 161-2), with further minor variants in the legends. Cf. 167 for the moneyer. I like this one for combining the mint of York --a center of Viking settlement and rule over the earlier 10th century-- with a Scandinavian moneyer's name. All there is to miss are the peck marks! The 'men of York' were a fifth column during Svein Forkbeard's invasion toward the end of AEthelred's reign, and supported Anglo-Danish interests as late as the half-Danish earl Waltheof's revolt against William the Conqueror in 1069 (coinciding with the final Scandinavian invasion, by Sweyn II Estridsson of Denmark) and 1076. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a series of published "pamphlets" online by a David Ruckser that are very useful, as well as the de Wit collection catalogs. But it can certainly be fun to sort these out. One day we will have a complete Medieval European Coinage online. Perhaps with advances in AI, such things might actually happen within our lifetimes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
