Gupta coinage

Gupta coinage refers to the currency used during the Gupta Empire (around 320-550 CE), a golden age in Indian history. The Gupta coins were typically gold (called "dinars") and silver, often featuring detailed images of rulers, deities, and symbols of prosperity. These coins not only facilitated trade and economic stability but also reflected the empire’s cultural and religious beliefs. Their craftsmanship and inscriptions provide valuable insights into the Gupta era’s art, politics, and societal structure, making them important artifacts for historians studying ancient India’s history and economy.
