c11.s8.5

This unique coin does not give the name of the issuer, but its attribution to Chandragupta II is rendered almost certain by the *biruda* Vikrama, which forms part of the legend on the reverse. *Chakravikrama* is similar in composition to *Ajitavikrama* and *Simhavikrama*, which occur on the Horseman and the Lion-slayer types of Chandragupta II.
