174 V. A. Smith — History and Coinage of the Gupta Period. [No. 4, 
(Coinage , p. 140.) The bust occupies the entire field, so that there is 
neither exergue nor legend. 
Rev ,—Garuda standing on horizontal line, which does not extend 
to either margin. In lower half of field is the legend ^*5 JT 
Maharaja Candra Ga; the vowel mark over the T being deficient. 
The character ^ Ca is distinct, but the following characters are not. 
(Plate VI, fig. 11.) Diameter *875. Wt. 105. 
This coin was obtained by Mr. J. P. Rawlins, District Superin¬ 
tendent of Police, at a remote village in the Jlielam District of the 
Panjab, and was communicated to me through Mr. C. J. Rodgers. The 
kindness of the owner has enabled me to examine the coin, and have 
it photographed. 
The obverse bust of this type and of the Vikramaditya Bust type 
seems to be a rude imitation of the device of the gold coins of 
Huvishka on which the king is represented holding an ear of corn. 
(Gardner, Coins of Greek and Scythic Kings , PI. xxvii, 9, etc.) 
The weight (105 grains) of this piece, which is in fairly good 
condition, is, perhaps an indication that the coin was struck to the 
standard of the contemporary gold dinftrs, that is to say, to a standard 
of about 125 grains. It can hardly be intended for a J- pai}a of 108 
grains. I take the rati as equivalent to 1*8 grains. 
Kumara Gupta I, (or ? II). 
Garuda Type (New). 
Ohv .—The letters i, fri Ku, in large, bold characters of the 
period, occupy the greater part of the field. Above, Garuda standing 
on horizontal line. Dotted circle. 
Rev .—LaksmI seated, executed in a very rough and degraded way, 
so that details are indistinct. A peculiar symbol in 1. field. Dotted 
circle. Diameter about ‘7 inch. wt. 52 grains. Condition good. 
This coin, which was bought by Mr. C. J. Rodgers at Saharanpur, is 
now in the cabinet of Mr. W. Theobald at Budleigh-Salterton, Devon. 
I sent a drawing of the coin last year to Mr. Rapson for publication, 
but, as the coin has not yet been published, I insert this notice of it. 
Kumara Gupta I and Skanda Gupta. 
Fantail Peacock Type. 
I venture to think that the arguments in Observations, (pp. 137- 
144) have sufficiently established the fact that both Kumara Gupta I 
and Skanda Gupta struck copper coins similar in device and size to 
the silver hemidrachms. The northern specimens of this copper coin*
