[Just below the group of the above coins, under sub-heading (2), Dr. Smith has catalogued 8 coins which he, with doubt, read as coins of ‘Deva’ (pp. 206, 207, 199). They, as pointed out above, really belong to Nava (Nāga). These coins have the same tree in railings which is to be found on the coins above-noticed and which he and other numismatists call the ‘Kosam’ symbol (Plate XXIII, figs. 15 and 16). The reverse bears sometimes the bull and sometimes the elephant. The obverse has a small hooded nāga above the name of the king.]
