Q. Which metal had the most coins issued during the Gupta Era?
Answer: Gold
Notes: Gupta rulers, from the 4th to 6th centuries CE, issued the largest number of gold coins known as dinaras. Gold coins depicted the reigning king and deities. Compared to gold, silver and copper coins from Gupta period are much less numerous. The Gupta Empire’s prosperity enabled extensive gold coinage, especially under rulers like Chandragupta II and Samudragupta.
