- The discovery of two punch-marked coins of the Sangam era, with symbols of sea turtles, marked the first of its kind found in the archaeological history of Adichanallur.
- It is a historic site located in the lower valley of Tamirabarani in Srivaikuntam taluk, Thoothukudi district.
- Adichanallur was largely known as an ancient burial mound where funerary urns were found.
- The site was first excavated by German archaeologist Dr. Jagor in 1876.
- With the latest collection of findings (punch-marked coins), the archaeological recovery suggests Adichanallur could have either been a coin manufacturing site or one of the earliest places of human settlement.
