Most of the coins of the Western Calukyas are of thick gold, and often cupshaped (**Plate V, 17**). ELLIOT (CSI. p. 67) supposes these to have been imitated from the Kadamba *padma-ṭaṅkas* (v. inf. § 131) which are executed in the same manner and which he assigns to the 5^th or 6^th cent. A.D.; but there is no proof, in either case, of so early a date, and, on the analogy of the Eastern Calukya coins, they should probably be placed much later. For other coins attributed to the W. Calukyas, v. HULTZSCH, Ind. Ant. 1897, p. 322, Pl. II, 28, 29.
