208 V. A. Smith— History and Coinage of the Gupta Period. [No. 4, 
Class II. —Without legends. 
Variety 1 :— 
Obv. Bust to right. In front of face, the Ephthalite symbol, 
monogram, No. 163, of the Ariana Antigua, or other 
symbol. 
Rev. Running bull, with turned-up tail, to left. 
References and Remarks :— 
Proc. A. S. B., 1. c., No. 6, figs. 8, 9. Fourteen specimens, one 
being double-struck, mostly in “very poor” condition. 
These coins have the “ Ephthalite symbol,” (mon. 163 of Ariana 
Antigua , and 373 of Rodgers’ Catalogue of Coins in Lahore Museum ), 
Lahore Museum, No. 4. ( Rodgers' Catalogue, p. 141.) 
The monogram in front of king’s face is Rodgers’ No. 374, a leaf¬ 
shaped symbol. The average weight of 5 coins is 31‘8. Diam. *7. 
Variety 2 :— 
As Variety 1, but bull to right. 
References and Remarks :— 
Proc. A. S. B., 1. c., No. 7, fig. 10. Dr. Hoernle groups together 
the coins figured as 10 and 11, and says that there are 11 specimens 
of this variety. Figure 10 agrees with his description, but figure 11 
represents a coin roughly square in shape, with a sun and the syllable 
To on obverse. It is evidently a coin of Toramana. 
Variety 3 :— 
Obv. Bust of King to left. In front of face, the monogram No. 
375 of Rodgers 
Rev. Bull to right, as in Variety 2. 
References and Remarks :— 
Lahore Museum, No. 5. Weight 261. Diam. '8. 
There can, I think, be very little doubt that these three varieties 
of anonymous coins are rightly assigned to Mihirakula, though it is 
of course, just possible that they were struck by some contemporaneous 
Hun chief, of whom we know nothing. 
I cannot attempt at present to pursue further the subject of the 
White Hun coinage, or to treat of the issues of chieftains more obscure 
than Toramana and Mihirakula. My discussion, though avowedly 
incomplete, will, it is hoped, introduce a certain amount of order into a 
subject which has hitherto, when discussed at all, been treated in a 
desultory and confused fashion. Any numismatist who is fortunate 
enough to have access to well-stocked cabinets can easily fill in the 
omissions and complete my rough outline. During the passage of these 
pages through the press the reprint of Cunningham’s paper, with plates, 
has appeared in the Numismatic Chronicle for 1894. I have worked into
