FIND GUPTA EMPIRE COINS FOR SALE

The Gupta Empire coincided with a time of great advancements in a number of areas in India. Stretching from about 240 to 590 CE, Gupta Empire coins were included in this wave of progress. From today’s perspective, Gupta coins remain highly collectible. Occupying large parts of the Indian subcontinent, the Gupta Empire also saw innovations in art, science, medicine, philosophy, and culture. Collecting Gupta Empire coins from these years means owning a piece of a time when human culture saw vast improvements.

Types of Gupta Empire Coins

Most imperial Gupta coins are silver drachm coins featuring busts of emperors. Coins made of lead also are available from online sellers from time to time. While the designs on Gupta Empire coins are not particularly detailed, there is an impressive variety of coins available. Gupta coins are similar in some ways to concurrent coins of such Indian regions as the Kushan Empire, the various Kshatrapas, Yaudheya Gana, and the Kalachuri Empire, to name but a few. Collectors of any of these historical Indian coins will also usually have several Gupta coins in their collections.
