The Coinage of the Gupta Empire and its Imitations c19.141

Language: English

c19.141

Who was the issuer of this coin is the problem before us. *Mahendrāditya* was a *biruda* of Kumāragupta I, but the personal name of the issuer of this coin seems *prima facie* to have been something different from Kumāra. I am inclined to think that the legend is defective and the issuer was none other than Kumāragupta I.
