In times past, the people of Gujarat were known for their preference for small silver coins giving rise to large quantities of dramas. Many of the coinages of the series have been identified, but many are still subject to debate. The authors in The Silver Coinages of the Gupta Empire and Associated States in Western India have tackled the problems of attribution. The volume covers a long succession of the Kshatrapas - Gupta - Traikutaka -  Krishnaraja silver drama into an evolutionary succession.  A must for those interested in this series of Indian numismatics.
