<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;">Many coins are reported in Chandragupta II with the reverse face but this combination of reverse face and reverse archer is offered for the first time. The interesting thing to note here is that the bow is held by king in reverse position and his hand is coming within the bow and resting at the center of the bow. Usually what we see is the reverse looking king with his hand going up and holding the bow from the top but this specimen has the hand coming to the down holding the bow from the center. The bow is seen resting on the shoulders of the king. And if the reverse is observed than the lotus stem will be seen going from inside the lower part of hand to the top. This type of the king’s position makes this specimen amazing. Lovely artistic features overall on this beautiful specimen.</span></span></div>

The lion appears to be charging towards the left with its mouth agape in a ferocious roar. Goddess holding diadem instead of lotus is a variant of Altekar. Bayana Hoard # Pl.

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif;">Ashwamedha or Haymedha was one of the grandest of the Vedic religious rites of ancient India, performed by a king to celebrate or to be more precise is to prove their imperial sovereignty. The ceremony is described in detail in various Vedic writings, particularly the Shatapath Brahmana. A special fine stallion was selected and was allowed to roam freely for a year under the protection of a royal guard. If the horse entered a foreign country, its ruler had either to fight or to submit. If the horse was not captured during the year, it was victoriously brought back to the capital accompanied by the rulers of the lands it entered, and then sacrificed at a great public ceremony, which was accompanied by much feasting and celebration. The wandering horse was said to symbolize the Sun in its journey over the world and, consequently, the power of the king over the whole Earth. On successfully carrying out a horse sacrifice, the king could assume the title of <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">chakravarti </em>(universal monarch). The rite served not only to glorify the king but also to ensure the prosperity and fertility of the entire kingdom.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif;">The major point to note is the usage of a different variant of the word Hay </span></span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 14px;">which in Sanskrit or Hindi is the synonym of Ashwa alias Ghotak, Raviputra, Turang, Saindhav, Dadhika, Sarta etc.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif;">It could be noted from this specimen that at the time of issuing the Ashwamedha coins to commemorate and to celebrate the Vedic ritual, the orders were issued to celebrate this event in grandeur in the whole Gupta Kingdom and simultaneously the royal court would have selected some prominent and major coin mints to strike the Horse Sacrifice coins. And one of them would have minted this typical different type than the usual Ashwamedha types where they have used the Sanskrit word <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">“HAY” instead of “ASHWA</span>” and struck <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bolder;">HaymedhaParakramah</span>.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif;">This specimen is as similar as the Battle-Axe type where the word "Kr" was used instead of "Samudra" in obverse. And similarly of Tiger-Slayer type where the word "Vyaghra-Nihanta" is used instead of "Raja Samudragupta" on the reverse.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212529; font-family: verdana; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "times new roman", times, serif;">Highly significant coin from the Gupta Dynasty as “Hay” is readable instead of “Ashwa” on this.

He was the second son of Azim-ush-Shan. In 1696, Farrukhsiyar accompanied his father on his campaign to Bengal. Mughal emperorAurangzeb recalled his grandson, Azim-ush-Shan, from Bengal in 1707 and instructed Farrukhsiyar to take charge of the province. Farrukhsiyar spent his early years in the capital city of Dhaka (in present-day Bangladesh); during the reign of Bahadur Shah I, he moved to Murshidabad (present-day West Bengal, India).</div>

Between 1872 and 1876, India’s Viceroy was Lord Northbrook. The important events during his reign were deposition of Gaikwad of Baroda in
1875, visit of Prince of Wales, Famine in Bihar and Kuka Movement in Punjab.
The Prince of Wales, eldest son of Queen Victoria visited India in 1876 with a large suite. He arrived in Bombay and then travelled to Madras, Ceylon
and finally Calcutta. The intent of this visit was to inspire the local princes’ loyalty to the British Empress and affirm their central role in the maintenance
of the empire. Wherever he went, he was showered with valuable gifts by the “loyal” Indian feudatories. He collected so much in 6 months
that one of the ships was filled with the jewels, paintings, antique weapons, live animals, embroideries brocades and all kinds of contemporary art
works. He returned and the gifts went on an exhibition in England for 6 months. In return the Prince of Wales gave Indian Princes a copy of Rig-veda
translated by Max Muller. Probably offered for the first time in any auction, no previous records are traceable.<br />
