Context
The coin serves as a link between some other post-Gupta coins of Bengal, and has a particular similarity with a previously published coin of Dharmapāla’s son, Devapāla, thereby supporting that coin’s claim for authenticity, apart from being the only known coin issued by the Pala empire during the reign of Dharmapāla. The coin was used for many years as a pendent by the owner, and was previously mistaken to be coins from different eras of Bengal's history until it's identification was verified in 2006.
