§ 96. Unattributed Gupta Coins. — No satisfactory attribution has hitherto been suggested for the following:—(1) gold coins bearing the name *Vīra(? sena or siṃha) Kramāditya*; date, probably 6th cent. A.D.; they weigh between 160 and 170 grains, or 10,36 and 11,01 grammes, and it is doubtful whether they should be referred to the Persian standard — didrachm = 172,9 grains, or 11,2 grammes, or to an Indian standard — 100 ratis = 182,5 grains or 11,82 grammes (SMITH, JRAS. 1889, p. 118, Pl. III, 12; id. 1893, p. 130); (2) gold coins of *Jaya(gupta)* (C.CMI. p. 19, Pl. II, 3); (3) silver coins, dated apparently 166 = A.D. 485, and having an inscr. containing *Śrī Harikānta* (SMITH, JBA. 1894, p. 195, Pl. VI, 15); (4) copper coins reading *(Śrī) Mahārājño (Ha)riguptasya* (C.CMI. p. 19, Pl. II, 6).
