The average size of the coins of variety A is ·6" and that of the varieties B and C, ·55". In rare cases the weight is as low as 24·1 grains; but the average weight of all the four varieties is about 30 grains. Several well preserved coins weigh about 33 grains, which seems to have been the intended weight of these pieces. It corresponds to the weight of the Kshatrapa silver coins.
