§ 100. Kṛṣṇarāja (**Plate IV, 17**). — These coins of western Gupta fabric (§ 91) are found in the Nāsik Dist., Bombay, and have been attributed to a Rāṣṭrakūṭa king of this name, c. A.D. 375—400. This attribution is, however, certainly incorrect, as this date is too early for the style of the coins, which are imitated from the latest Gupta coins current in this locality. For the same reason it is impossible to place them so late as the time of the better known Kṛṣṇarāja Rāṣṭrakūṭa c. 756 A.D. Their attribution must therefore remain for the present undecided.
