Hindu Coins of Medieval India
Auction Date: 20-12-2019
Gold
Rashtrakutas, uninscribed gold gadyana (1000-1100 AD), 3.96g. Obv: Garuda seated cross-legged with folded hands (Anjalimudra) surrounded by a floral whorl. Rev: Temple flanked by crescent, swastika at the top & two lamp posts.
Very fine+, Very rare.
Seated Garuda' was the dynastic emblem of the Rashtrakutas and hence the attribution of this coin. The design is derived from Gadyanas of Ganga and Kadamba dynasties and therefore it can be surmised that the coin must have been struck towards the end of the Rashtrakuta dynasty, perhaps issued by later rulers such as Indra III (c. 914-928) or Govinda IV c. 940-960).
