Poetic legends (largely eulogistic) were introduced on coins by the Guptas
(3rd to 6th Century AD). For instance, the horseman type coins of the
Guptas carried the following legend in poetic meter:
Guptakulamalachnadro Mahendrakarmajito
i.e. 'The Spotless Moon in the firmament of the Gupta family,
invincible, valorous as Mahendra, conquers the enemy'.
