Following Mr. Allan, we divide the coins of the Chhatra type into two classes. Class I (Pl. VIII. 6) consists of those coins which have the prose legend Mahārājādhirāja-śri-Chandraguptaḥ on the obverse. The coins of this class are rare. only seven being found so far. In class II (Pl. VIII. 7-15), the obverse shows the metrical legend Kṣitimavajitya sucharitairdivaṃ jayati Vikramādityaḥ. Coins of this class are fairly numerous.
