About the book:- India in the beginning of the Sixth Century A. D. , gave the first shock to the stability of the great Gupta Empire, which has lasted for two centuries without a check. The coinage under the Gupta had been continued on a settled system of dinars of Gold and half Karshas of Silver. The Indo-Scythian type of the copper money was continued in the Punjab and Kashmir down to the beginning of the fourteenth century. The coin type of Horseman and Bull of the Brahmans of Kabul were continued by the Ghaznavis, by the Ghoris and by the different Rajput states of North-west of India. Lastly the Indian type of the Goddes Parvati introduced by Rajas of Chedi was adopted by the Chandellas of Mahoba, by the Tomaras of Delhi, by Rathor of Kanauj and even by Mohammad Bin Sam.
