The Coinage of the Gupta Empire and its Imitations c6.30

c6.30

467 A. D. is the last known date of Skandagupta and his death may be presumed to have taken place in that year or the year succeeding. His successor was most probably his brother Purugupta, who died after a very short reign of a year or two. He has left us no coinage; gold coins once attributed to him are now shown to have been the issues of Budhagupta. It is not impossible that the gold coins bearing the biruda of Prakāśāditya may have been issued by him.
