Coins of Pandyas

The coins produced under the Pandya period were mainly punch-marked Silver and die-struck copper coins. During some later period, gold coins have also produced that bore the image of a fish, sometimes singly, sometimes in pairs along with symbols like a bow, a conch, and a discus. Kannada and Nagari were the main script languages used for these coins. 

Besides the fish emblem on copper coins, there were Chola Standing and Chalukya devices that were also inscribed on these coins. Many coins were in square shape and at times attributed to a particular ruler. The coins of the Pandyas, which bore the fish symbols, were termed as `Kodandaraman` and `Kanchi Valangum Perumal`. The Chola standing and the seated king type coins had the titles `Bhutala Ellamthalai`, `Parasurama`, `Kulasekhara`.
