The Coinage of the Gupta Empire and its Imitations c7.s1.14

Language: English

c7.s1.14

The problems connected with the identification of Kācha will be fully discussed when dealing with his coinage. Kācha had a short reign and so his coinage is confined to a single type, —the Chakradhvaja type, showing the king bearing a wheel-topped banner in the left hand and offering sacrifice with the right. The reverse shows a standing goddess, as on the Tiger-slayer type of the preceeding reign. This type of Kācha is not later copied by any other Gupta emperor.
