The gold coins of the Gupta kings, who ruled over North India in the fourth and fifth centuries, are renowned for the exquisite artistic quality of their designs. Less familiar are the striking variety in iconography and style of their images and the great diversity in the technical and material properties of these coins.
This study focuses on those gold coins that show the Gupta king with a banner carrying a miniature image of the mythic eagle Garuḍa, the supreme symbol of his power. They belong to five coin types - from a range of twenty-one different obverse designs - which together comprise about sixty percent of the dīnāras struck from the reign of Samudragupta up to and including that of Skandagupta.
All volumes of the print edition will become available in individual e-books: 9789004542532 (volume 1) - 9789004542549 (volume 2).

Proceedings of the Fifteenth International Conference of the European Association of South Asian Archaeologists, held at the Universiteit Leiden, 5-9 July, 1999
Volume Editor:
Since 1971, every other year archaeologists and art historians meet in one of Europe’s university cities for the South Asian Archaeology conference, the principal platform for face-to-face scholarly exchange in this special field. The fifteenth meeting of the Association of South Asian Archaeologists was held in Leiden (The Netherlands) from 2 to 6 ]uly, 1999. Its proceedings collect 52 of the papers, covering the variegated arts, crafts, materials and techniques of the subcontinent. Each methodologically rooted in specific disciplines (such as archaeology, art history, epigraphy or numismatics), together these contributions create a vivid image of an impressive civilization that continuously revitalizes itself over a multi-millennia span of time.
