Similar coins have recently appeared in many auctions and attributed to 'Rajyabhushana' on reference of a book by Snigdha Tripathy, "Early and Mediaeval Coins and Currency Systems of Orissa" (p.106-107, pl. L). However, barring the few letters seen here there is not much ground for this attribution. This coin also has a different set of letters than most other so-called 'Rajyabhushana' coins that have appeared on the market.
