Gupta Empire,&nbsp;Samudragupta&nbsp;(345-375 CE),&nbsp;Gold Dinar, &quot;Ashvamedha&quot; type,&nbsp;Obv:&nbsp;a&nbsp;sacrificial horse standing facing left on a platform, behind&nbsp;a sacrificial post (Yupa),&nbsp;which is shown as an elaborate stand with streamers, ribbons flying in the wind; the Yupa has an ornamental pedestal with two steps which are slightly bent in towards the center, Brahmi letter &#39;Si&#39; (Siddam)&nbsp;between the horse legs,&nbsp;Brahmi&nbsp;legend&nbsp;&quot;Rajadhiraja pri(thivimavitva divam jayatyahruta vajimedha)&quot;&nbsp;around the field,&nbsp;Rev:&nbsp;the chief queen in the guise of a goddess&nbsp;standing left on a five-petaled lotus-shaped pedestal, carrying a fly-whisk (Chauri) in her right hand, which is placed on her shoulder, Brahmi legend&nbsp;&quot;Ashvamedha Parakramah&quot;&nbsp;on the right field and a ritual needle (Soochi/ceremonial spear with ribbons) on the left field,&nbsp;beaded border around the field,&nbsp;7.9g, 21.92mm, (Unlisted), sharply struck, superb quality, about extremely fine,&nbsp;Extremely Rare.

Note:&nbsp;The Ashvamedha was one of the grandest of the Vedic religious ceremonies of ancient India, and was performed by a king to celebrate or, to be more precise, affirm their imperial sovereignty. The ceremony is described in detail in various Vedic writings, particularly the Shatapatha Brahmana.

This coin presents a fascinating addition to the Ashwamedha series of Samudragupta. The reverse showcases the chief queen embodying a goddess, holding a fly-whisk or Chauri in her right hand. Notably, the Chauri&#39;s handle stops within her palm, a departure from the conventional depiction where it extends beyond the palm and forms a dot above the Soochi, this type lacks that feature.

Additionally, this coin presents a stylized depiction of the queen, standing gracefully in imperial attire, embellished with jewels on her head, neck, and an anklet on her legs. On the obverse, the coin stands out from others due to the noticeable absence of a crescent near the ribbon.
