Kumaragupta III was notably the last ruler of the Gupta Empire, he succeeded his father Narashimhagupta. There are certain proofs regarding the existence of Kumaragupta III, silver - copper seal found in 1889 from Bhitari mentions the names of his father Narasimhagupta and grandfather Purugupta. At his time of ascending the Gupta Empire throne, the power had shrunk to their original base in Magadha. It is evident to notice the downfall of the imperial power by the coinage as the gold used to strike the coins was not of high purity and not much varieties are known of this ruler.

Coins of this ruler are extremely rare and missing from many collections.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
