Pallavas in Deccan (ca.275-901 AD), India

These Northern style drachms were probably struck after Narasimhavarman's occupation of Badami (between 642 and 655 AD) from the Chalukyas. These coins are quite rare - the coins listed below are from a small hoard of these drachms. When the hoard is dispersed, it will be very difficult to find these coins once again.

Silaharas of Khankan

Silaharas were ruling three different regions and hence those branches are termed as 1. Silharas of Karad (ruled between 1050 and 1212 AD), 2. Silaharas of South Konkan (before 1050) and 3. Silaharas of North Konkan (between 1026 - 1030 AD). Silaharas of Karad followed the Kolhapur coinage style in minting coins. They retained the trident and Garuda devices in their coinage. Coins bearing degenerated images are dated to the later period while others are dated to earlier period.
