 Coins of Satavahana kings have also been found at Kotilingala.A few of these are copper and potin coins bearing the legend "Rano Siri Chimuka Satavahanasa".Some scholars such as A. M. Sastry and K. D. Bajpai have identified the issuer of these coins with Simuka, who is considered as the founder of the Satavahana dynasty based on the Puranic genealogies.
