198 V. A. Smith — History and Coinage of the Gupta Period. [No. 4, 
No. 1. 
No. 2. 
No. 3. 
No. 1. Obv. A very degraded stand- 
. ing figure. Weight 41. 
Rev. Sun in upper field: Cri To. in 
lower field. 
No. 2. Obv. A very degraded stand¬ 
ing figure, and the letters (?) 
Weight 62. 
Rev. Sun above horizontal line. 
Below, Tora in large letters. 
These two pieces must, I think, be 
classed with Ka^nrir coins. 
Another Tora coin ( No. 3), sent home 
with the above, looks to me of earlier

Obv. King standing, holding bow in 
left hand, as in Gupta coins.

his left arm. 
Rev. Sun above horizontal line. Le¬

in peculiar bold characters. 
Weight 56.

looking like letters (perhaps ®TTfV bddhi ).”

one side, and on the reverse a very rude representation of what appears to be 
a fire-altar with its two attendant priests. Many of them bear single letters or 
names in early medieeval letters. ... A large find of these coins was made at Kohtak, 
between the Satlaj and Delhi, ten years ago. They probably formed the common 
copper currency of the Panjab and Rajputana between A.D 500 and 800.” 
I This coin has also been described and figured by Cunningham in his posthu¬ 
mous paper on the Coins of the White Huns in Hum,. Chron. for 1891, p. 280, PI. ix (vii), 
fig. 17. His description is inaccurate, omitting all mention of the minute characters 
on the obverse, which are quite plain on the original coin, and giving the reverse 
legend as To, instead of Tora. Cunningham agrees with me in ascribing this coin to 
the White Hun Toramana. The paper in the Num. Chron. appeared while these
