Recently, however, ten small copper coins have been found in Mālwā, which clearly bear the legend Rāmagupta or Rāma upon them.³ Six of these were purchased by Mr. P. L. Gupta from a dealer, who obtained them at Bhilsā in Mālwā and four belong to the cabinet of the late Mr. N. R. Advani of Indore, also collected in the same province. It is possible to maintain that these coins represent the copper currency of the elder brother of Chandragupta, who bore that name and therefore they are included in the present work in a separate chapter.
