bad along with eight of Peacock type of Kumara 
Gupta. 
C. ; one specimen dug up near Allahabad along with a Peacock coin ; 
probably part of the Jhilsi find. 
A. S. B. ; 3 specimens perhaps belong to this variety, but 
details are wanting; one seems to have no. ohv 
legend, two have ‘ Ku ’ under arm. 
Var. )8 ; ohv. legend as stated helow ; a character, seemingly, ‘ h,’ before 
Icing’s face. 
A. S. B.; figured in P. E. XXXIX, 19, and As. Ees. XYII 
PI. I, 14 ; a character between king’s feet; ohv. 
legend, as read by Dr. Hoernle, ‘ Parama raja- 
dhiraja Sri [Kumara Gupta Mahen]dra,’ but of 
the words in brackets only the lower portion is 
legible, and the restoration is conjectural; wt. 
not stated. 
For the character before the king’s face, cf. the Combatant Lion 
type of Chandra Gnpta II, this character seems to me to be ‘ h,’ and not 
‘ Gn.’ The word ‘ parama ’ in the legend also recalls Chandra Gupta’s 
Lancer and Horseman to Left types, but the ‘ Mahendra ’ of the rev. 
legend proves this coin to belong to Knmara Gnpta. 
Var. 7 ; under Icing’s arm ‘ Ku ’ ? ohv. legend, as stated helow. 
A. G. ; mon. 8 b; wt. 125 ; from Oudh. The ohv. legend includes
