The Coinage of the Gupta Empire and its Imitations c11.s7.25

c11.s7.25

Unfortunately the photograph of this coin has not been published and Smith and Rodgers, who were both experienced numismatists, differ in their readings. Smith thought that outside the spear there was *gupta*, though he could be sure only of the letter *p*. Rodgers thought that there the legend was *Shāka*. Both however, agreed that under the arm of the king was written *Chandra*.
