Comment :
Square falus and their fractions were staple copper coins throughout the region.
During the first few years there was a reduction in the weight standard from around
10g at the start to 7.8 – 8.4 from the year 921 onwards , with the coins weighing 8.8g issued in 919.
The chanderi mint continued to strike copiously on its 80 rati standard with both falus and its fraction.
Many of the coins are in irregular shape and of brassy appearance.
