c18.s3.4

Harikānta (?) seems to have been a fairly early ruler, not much later than 500 A. D. On the obverse in front of the king's face there is a date, which has been conjectured as 166 by Smith. If this were a correct reading, Harikānta (?) would have been a contemporary of Budhagupta. The numerals are truncated and the reading is quite uncertain.
