正面描述	Mounted king advancing to the right on horseback, depicted in high relief in the characteristic Later Gupta style. The royal rider is shown in profile, seated firmly upon a caparisoned horse, with his right arm raised and holding what appears to be a weapon or flywhisk. The horse is shown in a prancing or walking gait, with detailed rendering of the mane and trappings. A small figure or attendant device appears in the lower right field. The composition fills the irregular flan in the bold, vigorous artistic tradition of the Gupta gold coinage.

附加信息	Bhanugupta is known primarily from a single stone inscription dated to 510–511 CE found at Eran in Madhya Pradesh, which records a battle — likely against the Huna invaders — and the self-immolation of a chieftain's wife, making it one of the earliest epigraphic references to the practice of sati. Whether the Horseman-type dinar was struck in direct connection with that campaign is unresolved, but the chronological overlap is tight enough that the coins almost certainly circulated in the shadow of Huna pressure on the northern plains. The Later Guptas used the Prakashaditya epithet across multiple rulers, which has complicated attribution for over a century of scholarship.
