Definition

• A name given to the large gold coins of the mediaeval dynasties of Central India, notably the Chandellas (A.D. 1015-1150). Detailed descriptions will be found in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1897 (lxvi. p. 306). Cunningham (p. 3) cites an inscription from Jaunpur of A.D. 1216, where it is referred to as equal to six Vodris, and adds that this "certainly refers to the Greek Drachm of six Oboli."
