Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 10:14 pm I will show you the whole coin. Contemporary with the Guptas. Patrons of a mixture of Buddhism and Sun worshipping, they were not Hindu. It was once thought that this King did not name himself emperor but rather just a general of a Gupta Emperor, rare as this coin is it names the this person as the Makasatrapa The supreme emperor and patriarch of his kingdom.
