Note 3 — VOLUME II.

In the latter half of last century, twelve salli, or four tuṭṭu, made one copper paṇama, sixteen of which went to a rupee; the intrinsic value of this being 1s. 10½d., the salliya was worth 0.117d., or nearly half a farthing. In the absence of more ancient data, applying this value to the coins in the table the ancient tuṭṭuwa would be worth 0.468d., the massa 3.744d., and the silver kahawaṇuwa, 1s. 6.72d., a little less than the value of two silver massas of 72 grains. A double silver massa, which would appear to be this coin, has been discovered by Col. Lowsley;3 its weight was not stated.
