c14.s1.t2.2

Class IV of the silver coinage of Kumāragupta consists of the issues intended for circulation in the Gangetic plain or Madhyadeśa. This type shows many striking variations from the Western Indian type. The size and the weight are nearly the same in both the cases; the obverse continues to have the bust of the king and the reverse a bird with a circular legend around it. But there are several points of striking difference.
