Weapons shown on Indian coins

Thank you Spiral, but what are the two feet doing on the coin, is it a Budishish mark.
On many Indian weapons you can see weapons, but notice the form the weapons have, although they are relativly rughly made, they, do no doubt, represent the weapons used at the time.

Hi Jens,
I think you may be on to something ...the Katar and trisula mark are stamped on one of my Tulwars.

Nicely done guys!!!

At last an answer to what the trisula and katar found marked on a tulwar blade might mean.
Spiral, I wasnt aware of the kukri on Nepalese coins, which makes perfect sense.
All best regards,
Jim
