The Coinage of the Gupta Empire and its Imitations c9.s1.18

c9.s1.18

Samudragupta's Standard type is no doubt a close imitation of the Kushāṇa prototype. But this rare coin shows that it was in its turn imitated by some of his Kushāṇa feudatories in the Punjab. Perhaps more coins of this type may have been issued; but unfortunately we have only one specimen handed down to us.
