Kalachuris of
Ratnapura, Privthideva I (c.1065-90) or II (c.1135-65), AE Unit, (cf. Deyell
127-128) |
|
Copper units featuring Hanuman are known for Prithvideva (I or II), but the warrior figure on this coin appears to be human. It is possible that the defeated figure below is an upturned lion (head right), copying the Gupta 'lion-slayer' series. If so, this type is unique and unrecorded for the Kalachuris.
