Kidarites Later issues Anonymous ca. 6th-7th Centuries A.D. Debased Dinar Near VF -- #AC107504
AV Debased Dinar 23mm. 7.71g. Stylized Kushan-style King standing l., Brahmi 'KIDARA' to r. under arm.
Stylized Enthroned Ardoksho, Brahmi legend to r.(?)
cf. Mitch. 3638ff. Near VF. Light coppery golden color with attractive contrast. Tiny scrape on lower right obverse edge. Debased 'Kidara' type dinar, derived from the Kushan 'standing king' types. While this coin is probably anonymous, there is the remnants of a legend on the reverse, which may be the name of a ruler; this example does resemble the coins of Pratapaditya II (ca. 5th Century). The legend appears to have been recut or so crudely engraved that it is largely illegible, and is likely a later issue.

INDIA Hindu Dynasties Post-Empire of Hoysala Anonymous ca. 14th-18th Centuries Fanam UNC -- #WC95532
Hindu Dynasties AV Fanam 7mm. 0.31g. Shardula (stylized lion) walking r., crescent above.
Varaha (stylized boar) walking r, dots representing legs.
Mitchiner (1998) part I, #324; Numista #74837; Fr. 303 UNC Brightly lustrous with hints of orange tone. 'Viraraya' (Vija Raya) type fanam. This type was struck for at least 400 years, and possibly as late as the 20th century. This coin's fabric indicates that it is likely a later issue. The Viraraya design became popular down the western coast of India and variants of the design were used in Calicut, Cochin and Travancore. While initially used under the Hoysalas before the 14th century, this type became formalized and stylized, and was used long after as anonymous issues.
