The present specimen is of exceptional significance as it depicts a two-masted ship, a feature hitherto unpublished in Pallava numismatics. Previously recorded ship types, including Krishnamurthy’s example, show only a single mast. The two-masted design strongly suggests an ocean-going vessel, highlighting the Pallavas’ participation in maritime commerce across the Bay of Bengal and their connections with regions extending to Southeast Asia and the South China Sea. A remarkable and unrecorded variety, offered in our auction for the first time.<o:p></o:p>
