The Coinage of the Gupta Empire and its Imitations c6.28

c6.28

The emperor was probably too much occupied in military affairs to pay much personal attention to his coinage. We do find a new interesting type issued by him, the King-and-the-Lakṣmī type, probably representing that goddess as offering him the crown. But otherwise he mostly confined himself to the Archer type. Only one solitary coin of his in the Chhatra type has come to light, and a coin in the Horseman type is possible to be attributed to him, though not with absolute certainty.
