Sri Vira Coinage of the Madurai Nayaks: 1601-1736

[EWC]

Hello Ram

Your write  >  A project of this magnitude can not be done by one person as it will definitely take forever.  I remember Barbara Mears.....

You exaggerate I think – I saw Barbara just a couple of weeks back and she still looks like a youngster to me   

I agree with Peter.  For my part - the chances of me learning to use Wiki software are near zilch, but I would certainly chip in with scans and suggestions if an project manager can be found (GQ??) to create a matrix and slot them into it etc........

Alright.  It seems that I got enough encouragement to get this project started.  I'll do it, but it will probably only commence after the Christmas break as my time has already been allocated to a VIP, my daughter .  Promised her I would work with her on her science project for school  .  Since this is a national competition, it requires a lot of time and resources.  I will, in the meantime, collect as many materials as I can.  Probably a good time to pay a visit to the ANS...

As for Barbara, my assessment is based on her writings.  She indicated that it took her several years and multiple visits to India to finish her work on the Thirai Kasu of Tranvancore.  As I never met her personally, she seems to be a very charming person via email...

Excellent.  Good luck with the competition.

I will admit that the wiki software is not self-evident, but it is not that complicated either. Writing and editing is like in any word processor. Text make-up is like in world of coins: select and click the appropriate button. Making links is easy. Only lay-out and footnotes are complicated. Let someone else handle that an you will be fine. I will confess I still don't know how to post pictures, though

Wow! what an informative thread.
i was sent here by THCoins when i posted a coin for id help.
The coin in my collection does show the "Sri Vira" legend but unfortunately the larger part on the other side is off flan.
though i doubt my post can add any value to the information, hoping someday someone is able to make enough of the off-flan image & my coin gets a proper attribution

I propose to turn the left picture 90° clockwise: Nandi lying under tree. Compare Zeno 92264.

Should i post it here?

The paper is rights free, so it is OK to post a link.
