R. Krishnamurthy (18 January 1933 – 4 March 2021) was a former editor of the Tamil daily Dinamalar and also a renowned Tamil script epigraphist and numismatist in India. The second son of Dinamalar founder, T. V. Ramasubbaiyer, he became editor of Dinamalar in 1977. In later years, he took a keen interest in studying various Tamil inscriptions of different periods, especially the ‘Vatteluttu’ script. His interest in Tamil script epigraphy led him to numismatics. He discovered various coins of the Tamil Sangam period, which he published in a book titled ‘Sangam Age Tamil Coins’. He also published other books based on his findings and research in Tamil script epigraphy and numismatics in Tamilnadu.

Krishnamurthy founded the Tamilnadu Numismatic Society in Chennai, in 1986, and the South Indian Numismatic Society, in 1991. The Royal Numismatic Society in London honoured him by electing him a fellow of the society, in 1998. A recipient of several awards and honours, he presented his research work at several conferences in India and abroad. Provided by Wikipedia
