Note: The Nalas were a regional dynasty that flourished during the era of the later Guptas, including rulers like Kumara Gupta and Skanda Gupta, and alongside feudatories such as the Sarabhapuriyas and Panduvamsis. Though historically obscure, they are known through a limited number of copperplate Grants and Rare coins. Rulers such as Arthapatiraja and Bhavadattaraja are attested by both inscriptions and coins, while figures like Varaharaja and Stambharaja survive only through their coinage. Pushkari, identified with present-day Garh-Dhanora in Bastar served as the capital of the Nalas and the core of their authority, with their influence extending into Vidarbha. Their rule eventually declined under the expansionist pressure of the Chalukyas.

These coins were struck by unique repoussé technique, where thin gold sheets were struck over engraved punches, producing raised obverse designs and intaglio impressions on the reverse.
