RAJPUT DYNASTYS & THEIR COINAGE
The origin of the Rajputs is a controversy. They claimed to be the descendants of
the Kshatriyas of the Vedic times. Rajput also means 'scion of the royal blood' as used in
certain parts of Rajasthan. Some theory tells us that they were the descendants of
the Sakas, Hunas and the Kushanas ! Eventually they intermixed with the Hindus and
made India their home. What one can conclude is "The Rajputs are not a race but a group
of clans of distinct origin". The Pratihara clan of Kanauj has been proved to be of Gurjara
origin. The most important of Hun group of tribes had established a powerful dynasty in
Kanauj. The House of Mewar played an important role in political and military history of
India for centuries to come, and gave Rajput heroes like Bapa Raval, Rana Sanga, and Rana
Pratap.
The theory of Agnikula origin of the Rajput, states that Parasuram destroyed all
the Kshatriyas. However, Brahmanas felt the need to defend them and performed an Yaga
which gave them four heroes and each one of them created a separate clan. There came
into existence Chauhans, Chalukyas, Paramaras and the Pratiharas. The palaces,
temples, forts that were built by Rajputs are the finest examples of Indian architecture.
The Rajputs ruling central Hindustan, circulated coins mostly of gold, copper, billon
and rarely silver. The gold, the drammas in weight were first struck by Gangeyadeva
Vikramaditya of Dahala of the Kalachuri dynasty. These coins had the familiar goddess of
wealth, Lakshmi on the obverse. In these coins, the Goddess is shown with four arms than
the usual two arms of the Gupta coins; the reverse carried the nagari legend. The similar
type of gold coins were also struck by Chandela kings of Mahoba in Bundelkand (10551280), Tomara dynasty of Ajmer & Delhi (978-1128), and the Rathor kings of
Kanauj. Muhammad of Ghor too actually struck few pieces in this style.
The invariable device Lakshmi became the motif on the coinage of Rajputs like that
of later Kushanas, Kidarites and Guptas. On the obverse, the frontally faced seated
female figure is placed within the dotted border. She has a nimbus behind her head, which
is also bordered with dots. Her left and right legs are either laced in front with symmetry or
one on the other, her two upper hand holds lotus stalks, and the two lower ones rest on her
lap or thighs. She wears a necklace, ear rings, bangles, girdles, and possibly anklets. The
reverse carried the legend in three lines - "Srimad", followed by the kings name and then
on the third line "Deva".
Of billons and the silver coins issued by Rajputs, the seated bull and horseman was
the invariable device. They were first struck by the Brahman Kings of Ohind (Gandhara)
on silver, the commonest were the issues ofSpalapati Deva and Samanta Deva. The
name of the king surrounded the bull in a circular style, wherein the undeciphered script
(Turanian ??) appeared on the obverse above bull. These type of coins were continued by
the Tomaras, Chauhans of Delhi, Rathors of Kanauj, Rajputs of Narwar and
the Amritapala rajas of Badayun. They were all mostly struck on billon. The invariable
device Bull and Horseman lasted the next three centuries in the hands of Kangra kings.

were modeled on the coins of [i]Pratiharas, which
were themselves derived from copies of the
Sassanian coins. The Palas brought order to Bengal
which was in the state of Anarchy for most of the
7th century (following the death of Sasanka). The
founder of the dynasty was one Gopala, a local
chielf who was elected by the council the Bengali
chiefs. They dynasty was in control of Bengal for
almost two and a half centuries, though the coins
were issued only in the name of two rulers
(Devapala and Vigrahapala), with their successors
continuing to strike coinages in the name of these

The Imperial Pratiharas:By ninth century, the
supremacy of northern India was taken over by
another illustrious dynasty called Pratiharas which
claimed descent from Lakhamana, brother of Lord
Rama. The greatest king of pratihara dynasty was
Bhoja I who took control of Kanyakubj (modern
Kannauj) in 836 AD and created an empire which
was similar in size of his predecessor, HarshaVardhana. He built a city Bhojpal (modern Bhopal,

Page 11

capital of Madhya Pradesh state) which was named
after him. He was successful general and managed
to defeat many of his powerful neighbours
including the Gaudas of Bengal. Like HarshaVardhana, Bhoja too was a great patron of art and
literature and famous poet Rajashekhar was in his
court. He received foreign travellers like Sulaiman
and Al Masudi who left account of their travels to
India. Both talk highly of his superior cavalry and
his fine administration.Pratihara dynasty ruled for
another 200 years although their dominion was
never to the extent of during Bhoja's rule. In 1018,
Kannauj then ruled by Rajyapala Pratihara was
sacked by Mahmud of Gazni and that was
beginning of the end of this illustrious dynasty of
north India. Shown above is a coin minted by the
great Pratihara king Bhoja I. The obverse show
Aadivaraha, boar like incarnation of Lord Vishnu
while reverse of the coin show stylized fire altar
and two attendant. The deity Aadivaraha is
supposedly holding earth by his snout. The vigour
and strength of Aadivaraha's image on these coin
amply show die engraver's knowledge of
scultptures of that era. Altar and attendant motif
was borrowed from Sassanaian coins which
possibly came in India due to trade from Sassanian
ruled Persia. The coins of Bhoja were immencely
popular in medieval period and were extensively
copied by his successors. All the kings
of Pratihara dynasty minted exact same coin which
were introduced by Bhoja I. Although the coins of
later rulers of Pratihara dynasty were more stylized
and heavily debased.
