EF, attractive appearance, nice lustrous surfaces, some flat areas from the strike on both heads.

This rare and desirable lyre player type was unique to Samudragupta and Kumaragupta I, who were eager to profile himself as a supporter of the arts and an accomplished musician.

According to Kumar, Treasures of the Gupta Empire, only 98 coins of the lyre type are known, most in museum collections.
