§ 137. Vijayanagara. — The rise of this kingdom is an important landmark in Indian history and numismatics; for while it became paramount in the country south of the Kistna and preserved there the S.Indian form of coinage, the country to the north of the Kistna had generally passed into the hands of the Muhammadans, and the Indian type of coinage had with a few isolated exceptions been superseded in that region by a coinage of the Muhammadan form.
