Note:&nbsp;&nbsp;Kartikeya&nbsp;type was issued by only Kumaragupta I in the Gupta Empire coinage, this innovation was obviously envisioned to be a 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. The obverse legend arrangement is&nbsp;&ldquo;Jayati svagunair gunarasir Vrtanihanr Mahendrakumarah&rdquo;, &ldquo;जयति&nbsp;स्वगुणेर&nbsp;गुणारसिर&nbsp;व्रतनिहारन&nbsp;-&nbsp;महेंद्रकुमार:&rdquo;&nbsp;meaning the destroyer of Vrtra, having a wealth of virtues, conquers through his virtues. The reverse portrays God Kartikeya riding a peacock and showering coins with his right hand.
