Gupta, Kachagupta, Gold Dinar.
Gupta Empire, Kachagupta (c. 335), gold Dinar, Chakradhvaja type, king standing, holding standard surmounted by chakra in left hand, sprinkling incense on altar with right, KACA below arm, rev. the goddess Lakshmi standing, holding lotus flower and cornucopiae, 7.68g (BMC 41 ff [Samudragupta]). Edge marks, otherwise extremely fine, rare.
Once thought to be a type/series within the coinage of Samudragupta, Kachagupta is now identified as a ruler in his own right and is an example of a king known only because of the coins struck in his name.
