The archer type was continued from Samudragupta's mintage and is the most common of Chandragupta II's gold coins. The warrior imagery pairs with Chandragupta II's new coin types of the rider and the lion-slayer, referring to the many new lands conquered under his reign. With Chandragupta II at the helm, the Gupta Empire's borders were extended deep into Punjab to the north, Bengal in the east, and to the Arabian Sea to the south, becoming the largest geopolitical entity of ancient India.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e(TOTGE, S.
