Answer: Option B. -> Dinar
Answer: (b) The Gupta gold coins were known as Dinar. The world’s first coins were Greek, made in Lydia about 640 BC.

So India’s history of issuing gold coins dates back almost 2,000 years.

Answer: Option A. -> Parama-Mahesvara
Answer: (a) Harsha had assumed the title ParamaMaheswara. An early copper plate grant of king Dantidurga (753) shows an image of god Shiva and the coins of his successor, king Krishna I (768), bear the legend Parama-Maheshwara (another name for Shiva).
