Kartikeya type was issued by only Kumaragupta I in the Gupta Empire coinage, this innovation was obviously intended to be numismatic homage to the deity. Kartikeya is the Hindu god of war, the son of Lord Shiva and known by many names, one of which is Kumara. Kumaragupta I was named after war god Kartikeya whose mount was peacock. S Kumar has reported only 96 specimens of this type so far. The obverse legend arrangement is &ldquo;Jayati svagunair gunarasir Vrtanihanr Mahendrakumarah&rdquo;, &ldquo;जयति स्वगुणेर गुणारसिर व्रतनिहारन - महेंद्रकुमार:&rdquo; meaning the destroyer of Vrtra, having an abundance of virtues, conquers through his virtues.
