Altekar classified these coins by clubbing all later Kumaragupta Kings into one King called Kumaragupta II instead of differentiating them into Kumaragupta II and Kumaragupta III. Skandagupta, introduced a new heavier weight standard based on a coin of 80 rattis. The coins of Kumaragupta II are in the weight range of 8.93 - 9.40gms. The heavier weight is the surest method of distinguishing the coins of Kumaragupta I and Kumaragupta II.
