1894,] V. A. Smith— History and Coinage of the Gupta Period. 
The coins described by Cunningham, appear to be the only two 
specimens known. But a very similar coin is described and figured 
in Prinsep’s Essays, PI. xxxiii., 1. The description of this piece is as 
follows : 
Ohv, Horseman to right; crescent over head ; Ephthalite symbol 
behind horseman; vase over borse’s head. Marginal 
legend supposed to be Paldavl, but probably Greek 
( Num. Chron. for 1894, p. 277). 
Rev. Indistinct, probably fire-altar and supporters. 
This coin was in Prinsep’s cabinet. The find-spot is not stated. 
Weight not stated. Hiam. 1 inch. It closely resembles Cunningham’s 
fig. 9, 
Cunningham’s coins are ascribed to Toramana the White Hun, on 
account of the legend Jabula or Janabula , which seems to be identical 
with the Jauvla (*T3i|p) of the Kura inscription of Maharaja Toramana 
Saha Jauvla. But the title Jauvla may be “a tribal name or biruda ,” 1 2 3 
and its occurrence on a coin does not necessitate the ascription of that 
coin to Toramapa. The coin might possibly be his father’s, or his son’s. 
But it is, most probably, assigned rightly to Toramana. 
II— Sassanian Bust Type. 
Obv, Bust of king to right; with a cap adorned with a crescent in 
front. Marginal legend in Gupta characters, 
Sdhi Jabuvlah, or Jabula. 
V* 
Rev. Indistinct; the coin in one instance being repousse. Diam. 
1 and 1T0. Wt. 56 and 50’5. 
Cunningham describes four or five coins of this class (Num. Chron, 
for 1894, p. 278, PI. ix (vii), figs. 10, 13). Similar coins are known of 
Neva Sdhi Khirjgila and of Rdjd La[khana ] TJdayadityaJ 
Deva Sabi Klihggila is identified with Khiqkhila, who is mentioned 
in the Raja Taragginl as one of the kings who succeeded Mihirakula, 
and is said to have been also known by the Hindu title of Narendraditya? 
Copper coins of the period with the legend Jayatu Qri Narendra exist, 
and may have been issued by the same chief. 
1 Biihler, Epigraph. Ind., Yol. I, p. 239. 
2 Cunningham possessed only one coin of Khiijgila. ( Coins of Med. India, 
p, 26). He dates him in A.D. 580. He had four specimens of Udayaditya, and Mr, 
Theobald has one, 
3 Cunningham describes and figures two rude gold coins of a king of Kagmir 
bearing the legend (Jri Narendra, whom he identifies with the Narendraditya of the 
Baja Taraqgini. These coins are of the ordinary debased Kidarite type, with 
Kidara under the king’s arm. ( Coins of Med. India, p. 43, PI. iii, fig. 5). This (Jri 
Narendra seems to be distinct from Khirjgila Narendraditya.
