The coins of the Couch type vary in size from .8" to .85". They were issued to the standard of 121 grains. One piece in the British Museum weighs 114.7 grains, but it is rather worn out. The coins of this class are rare; the British Museum, the Indian Museum, the Lucknow Museum and the Prince of Wales Museum, Bombay have each only one specimen. The Bayana hoard had three.
