| Beschrijving keerzijde | Standing or seated figure visible in a highly debased and schematic form, consistent with late Gupta reverse types derived from earlier regal prototypes. Surrounding the central device are blundered and illegible remnants of a Brahmi legend, heavily degenerated to the point of being non-readable, a hallmark of imitative or sub-Gupta coinage struck by local rulers or imitators. The strike is weak and uneven, with significant areas of flat or missing detail across the flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The later Gupta silver-copper issues represent a prolonged monetary debasement that tracked the empire's territorial fragmentation after Skandagupta's reign in the late 5th century. As Huna invasions destabilized the northwest and provincial governors asserted autonomy, central mint control dissolved — many of these small billon pieces were struck by successor kingdoms or local authorities imitating Gupta types they no longer had the political authority to issue legitimately. Attribution between "later Gupta" and "imitative" remains genuinely unresolved for most specimens.
