New issuers to add [Risolto]

there are many issuers that have been merged alongside the Madurai Nayakdom to form the “Kingdom of Madurai”

So we need to add these few seperate issuers to the hindu dynasties in the catalog.

1)Bani Chiefs of Madurai                           (pre madurai Nayakas,  post Vijayanagar empire)

EXAMPLES:

• 1 Kasu - Samarakolakalan (Banas of Madurai) 
• Bani Chiefs of Madurai - Ramnad, c. AD 1450-1520 
   

2)Nayakas of Dharmapuri

(this issuer is very confusing as I was only able to find a few coins with the lettering “Ra ma na” in tamil (Shown below) & sources show each foreign site shows them as different issuers. It may be detailed in this book, however I have not seen it.

A stone edict from Kothur, in the district of Dharmapuri in Tamil Nadu situated around 30Kms from its head quarters mentions one Raamana son of Angappa Naikkar ruling the area around Hosur in 1511.CE. Arumuga Seetharaman illustrates five varieties of coins attributed to him in "Tamizhakakkasukal".
On its obverse, is Hanuman and on the reverse, Tamil legend reading "ramana".

Should this just be a ruling authority (preceding the Nayaks) for Madurai?

RUling authorities for Madurai have been added, including Bani chiefs, and a numberr of specific rulers in the Nayak dynasty.

I do not know what to do with the other part of the request since, as you say, there are conflicting descriptions of ths issuer.

I had recently just rechecked the only different account comes from whoever posted the original coin on numista, the other ones are attributed to those nayaks
