Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The Gupta gold coins were known as Dinar. Kushan emperor Vima Kadaphises introduced the first Indian gold coin, which was a gold dinar bearing the image of Shiva. So India's history of issuing gold coins dates back almost 2,000 years. In the late fifth century, Huns brought with them silver drachms of the Sasanian emperor Pimx (AD 459-84) of Iran. The drachm became the accepted prototype for coinage in the region. Coins, known as dramma, continued being made in western India until the thirteenth century. Dramma (Silver Coins) were also used by Yadavas of Devagiri and Rastrakiitas. Niska, Satman and Krishal were used as coins by traders in Later Vedic period.
