Pandya coinage

Earliest coins of the Pandyan Kingdom were copper squares and were struck with a die. The coins were uni-side with an image of an elephant on that side. Upon the revival of the Kingdom in the 7th-10th centuries, the predominant image was one or two fish. Sometimes they were with other images like a "Chola standing figure" or the "Chalukyan boar." The inscription on the silver and gold coins is in Sanskrit, and most of their copper coins have Tamil legends.[1][2]
