§ 129. W. Calukya. — Territory: W. Deccan. After the beginning of the 7^th cent. A.D. the Calukyas are divided into two main branches — the Western Calukyas in W. Deccan, and the Eastern Calukyas in that part of the Pallava country which lay between the Kistna and Godavari. The gold coins of both branches bear the Calukya emblem, a boar, and are remarkable as showing a particular application of the Indian method of punch-marking, by which each portion of a definite design is impressed on the coin by a separate punch.
