Gupta Empire Silver Drachm (415-455 AD) XF-AU
This silver drachm originates from the ancient Gupta Empire, dating back to the years 415 to 455 AD.

The obverse of the coin displays the right-facing profile of the ruler Kumaragupta I. This portrait captures the distinct royal styling of the era.

These inscriptions and patterns reflect the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of the Gupta dynasty during its golden age.
