A set of rare copper plates dating back to the early 15th century, from the reign of Devaraya I of the Sangama Dynasty
Has been unveiled in Bengaluru by Falcon Coins Gallery in collaboration with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
These copper plates are written in Sanskrit and Kannada, using Nāgarī characters and are particularly significant as they were issued during the coronation of King Devaraya I.
A unique feature of the seal is that it depicts Vamana instead of the customary Varaha, which was the traditional royal insignia of the Vijayanagara Empire.
The plates are dated Saka 1328 (1406 CE), confirming the coronation date of Devaraya I.
The plates provide a detailed genealogy of the Sangama Dynasty, tracing the lineage from Chandra, Yadu, and Sangama to Harihara, Kampa, Bukka, Mãrapa, and Muddapa.
