Vrishabha Kunjara on Coins

Vrishabha means Bull and Kunjara means Elephant

The stone carving of Vrishabha Kunjara is an interesting piece of artwork with head of Bull and elephant in common.

From the left, we can see the head of the Bull facing right whereas the elephant facing left also can be seen on the same head.

Following is a depiction of Vrishabha Kunjara motif on Gingee Maratha* coins
