Watch List notes:

6th century A.D. Potin unit (11 mm, 0.45 g). Circle divided into 5 wedges, with early Kannada legend within: Sri Ma na ra shi / Four-spoke chakra. Cf. Ganesh 5.12-5.17. A few coins of Sri Manarashi have an unusually-shaped na in the legend, like on this specimen. Rare and choice. Dark green patina. Choice very fine. 

The Kadambas of Banavasi were the first Kannadiga family to rule in Karnataka and the first to use the Kannada script in their inscriptions and coins.
