A detailed discussion of the adoption of these Gupta motifs has naturally to be postponed to a subsequent volume of this series, which will deal with the post-Gupta coinages. There are, however, some stray rulers, mostly of unknown dynasties, ruling between *c.* 525 to 675 A. D. who issued coins in gold, silver and copper in close imitation of some of the Gupta types. These rulers did not belong to the Imperial Gupta dynasty, but it will be convenient to discuss their coinage in this Appendix, as it is influenced by Gupta coinage.
