Please confirm/correct me that this is Kumaragupta I but my real question is the
flan which resembles about half of these I am seeing offered for sale. It is oval shaped but appears to have been clipped apart from a chain with two squared cut ends and two rounded sides. Is anything known about the production methods used here? The other half I see seem on more regular flans. Am I missing something here? ...perhaps more than one
mint in operation?
Mitchiner separates these by where the
reverse legend starts but ignores the
obverse legend. Again I ask what I am missing that? I fail to read the script on most of
his plated coins making it hard to compare.
