## Edition

⟨1⟩ (t)vaḥ tṅa ’X [da] ⟨2⟩ rvaYṃḥ dasaḥ ’pa

## Commentary

Type II of Mahlo’s coins (no Type I in our inventory). Cf. 069

Are we dealing with ‘interlinear Brāhmī’ below this line (three times
syllable-final -y), or not?

## Bibliography

Illustrated in Mahlo 2012, pp. 132, 167 (app. 27.1), who did not
recognize the inscription on the reverse as Pyu. Edited here from
Mahlo’s published photograph.
