The Bayana hoard is the biggest hoard of Gupta gold coins found and recovered so far, and we have the benefit of having its scientific catalogue, describing in minute detail each coin of the hoard, and giving its size, weight and legend. The plates publish the photographs of the obverse and reverse of 459 select coins of the hoard, beautifully reproduced in collotype plates. The lengthy introduction of the book discusses a number of important historical and technical points.
