| Additional information |
The Khadga dynasty ruled Samatata — roughly the eastern Bengal delta, now southeastern Bangladesh — from roughly the mid-seventh century, and Rajabhata was among its later rulers. The dynasty produced gold staters in deliberate imitation of Gupta coinage, a political gesture toward legitimacy at a time when Gupta prestige still carried weight long after the empire's collapse. These issues are rarely encountered outside South Asian institutional collections.
