COINS.
Maharana Kumbhā struck gold, silver and
copper coins. Ferishta (Briggs' Translation,
Vol. IV, page 221) mentions gold coins of
Kumbhā. In the Mamādeva temple in the
fort of Kumbhalgarh, there is an image, of
the size of a man, of Kuvér, treasurer of the
gods, with two attendants pouring coins from
