These thin coins are found in north Karnataka and are ascribed to the 'Period of Confusion' from ca. A.D. 250-400 that followed the rule of the Chutus. They depict a standing bull - a Shaivite symbol - with a legend (often blundered) that reads Rajno Vishnurudra Budhananda, a ruler known only from these coins.
