Question Why do the coins of Toramana and Skandagupta appear so similar? (Page 90)
The coins look similar because the Huna rulers adopted the Gupta style of coin making. They copied the design, shape, and symbols of Gupta coins to show power and legitimacy. By doing so, Toramana wanted to look like a rightful Indian king, just like the Guptas.
