² Along with these guild-coins, we may note what Cunningham calls the ‘autonomous coins of ancient India’, i. e. those issued by the free clans or autonomous communities, such as the (1) *Odumbara* coins; (2) *Yaudheya* coins (with those of their chiefs Brāhmaṇa Deva and Bhānu Varma); (3) *Sibi* coins; (4) *Mālava* coins; (5) *Vaṭāśvaka* coins (probably connected with the Aśvaka tribe, the ‘Assakenoi’ of the Greeks, to which Rapson (*J. R. A. S.*, 1900, pp. 98–106) adds (6) *Uddehika* coins (third century B.C.); and (7) *Ārjunāyana* coins, related to the Yaudheya.
