Chola copper and gold coinage
Also known as Chola kalanju
Chola copper māsha and gold kalañju coinage, carrying the standing-king-and-seated-king obverse (the king upright with a trident on one side, enthroned on the other) and Tamil-Grantha or Nāgarī legends naming the ruler — Rājarāja, Rājendra, Kulottunga. The 'bull-and-fish' Chera-Pandya issues circulated beside them in the south. Rājendra's Śrī-Laṅkeśvara coinage was struck after his Sri Lankan campaign and carries the title in both Tamil and Sinhala.
