The Coinage of the Gupta Empire and its Imitations c9.s1.24

c9.s1.24

The Standard type coins may be divided into three classes; class I where the *biruda* is *Parākrama*; class II where it is *Vikrama* and Class III, where we find the type imitated by a Kushāṇa feudatory of the emperor. Class III was not issued from the Gupta mints and class II may have been due to a mistake in the mint, as pointed out above at p. 43. Classes II and III are known from single specimens only.
