Nolambas of Nolambavadi, Central Karnataka, as feudatories of Western Gangas, gold punch-marked gadyana, repousse fabric (900-1000 AD), 3.72g, height: 28.32mm, width: 27.96mm. Obv: Nine punches struck deeply on a thin flan, 5x Nandi seated couchant on a pedestal with lamp-posts in front and rear, flywhisk (Chauri) and sun-moon sign above the back, 2x Kannada letters 'Shri', 1x Kannada legend Parijwala and 1x Kannada legend Nolamba.

It is not yet certain which Nolamba ruler held the title 'Parijwala' but judging by the style and the fabric of the coin suggests that it might be attributed to Dileepa Irivanolamba (940-967AD).
