Additional information

Kaca remains one of the most obscure rulers in the Gupta sequence. He appears in no dynastic inscriptions and is known almost entirely through his coinage — a handful of gold dinars that have generated debate about whether he was a legitimate king, a regional co-ruler, or a usurper who briefly interrupted the line between Samudragupta and Chandragupta II. The BMC attribution places him within a tight cluster of issues, but the political circumstances that produced them remain unresolved.
