27. 'Very little was known of the real history of the Cōḷas when Elliot wrote his great work on the '*Coins of Southern India*.' He indeed dates the origin of the 'Ceylon type' in the eleventh century (p. 108) and calls it 'a remarkable change' from the earlier type; the Cōḷa coins actually figured and described by him (some of which were considered again by Hultzsch *IA*. xxi p. 323) support this view.
