As in the case of pottery inscriptions, inscribed objects in Tamil-Brāhmī like coins, seals, etc., have also been found outside the Tamil country. Noteworthy among these are the silver portrait coins of the Sātavāhanas with the legends on the reverse of the coins in Tamil-Brāhmī; a silver seal engraved with megalithic symbols and Tamil-Brāhmī characters found in a megalithic grave at Anaikoddai, Jaffna, Sri Lanka; a set of local lead coins with Tamil-Brāhmī legends from Tissamaharama on the south-eastern coast of Sri Lanka, and a unique inscribed touchstone found in Thailand.
