Gupta Empire, Samudragupta (345-375 CE), adopting resemblance figures from the Kushan Coinage (transition period).&nbsp;Gold Dinar,&nbsp;"Rajadanda" type,&nbsp;Obv:&nbsp;the king, crowned and nimbate, standing facing left, sacrificing over an altar, a ribboned trident surmounts the altar, holding a standard/rajadanda&nbsp;in his left hand, a sword/dagger at his waist, Brahmi initials “Pu” near altar, “Samudra” under his left arm and&nbsp;"Gadakhara"&nbsp;to the outer right,&nbsp;Rev:&nbsp;the goddess Ardokhsho enthroned, nimbate,&nbsp;facing forward, holding a cornucopia in her left hand and a diadem with ladder-like ribbon in her extended right, Brahmi initials on&nbsp;the right field,&nbsp;tamgha on the upper-left field,&nbsp;7.6g,&nbsp;17.55mm,&nbsp;(Gobl # 611/TGE # pg. 215), about extremely fine,&nbsp;Extremely Rare.<o:p></o:p>Note: This specific type, showcasing a blend of Kushan and Gupta stylistic numismatic iconography, is often referred to as an usurper issue. The presence of ad hoc mints, distinct from the regular sites used by other rulers, and the use of Brahmi legends such as "Samudra," led Göbl to propose that a field commander may have struck these coins on behalf of Samudragupta. This likely occurred in a region not yet assimilated into the Gupta realm, where Kushan dinars were widely accepted as the standard currency. However, S. Kumar offers a simpler explanation, attributing the coins to the Rajadanda-Scepter type. This is supported by the King's attire resembling a tribal appearance and the presence of a Fire-Altar on these coins.<o:p></o:p>
