Q1. What is the main source of information about the Kunindas?
(A) Inscriptions
(B) Ancient texts
(C) Coins
(D) Manusmriti

Explanation: The primary source of information about the Kunindas is their coins. These coins provide details about the names of rulers, types of coins, scripts used, and symbolic figures. While inscriptions and ancient texts offer information about other ancient communities, the historical evidence available for the Kunindas comes mainly from their coinage. Manusmriti is a socio-legal text and does not serve as a direct historical source for local dynasties.
Q2. Into how many major types have Kuninda coins been classified?
(A) Two types
(B) Three types
(C) Four types
(D) Five types
Click To Show Answer/Hide
Explanation: Kuninda coins are grouped into three major types — the Amoghbhuti type, the Almora type, and the Chatreshvara/Chattreshvara type. This classification reflects variations in geographical distribution, metal, script, and iconography. Other numerical options are incorrect because only three primary types are mentioned.
Q3. In which scripts have Amoghbhuti-type coins been found?
(A) Brahmi and Devanagari
(B) Kharoshthi and Devanagari
(C) Brahmi and Kharoshthi
(D) Prakrit and Pali

Explanation: Amoghbhuti-type coins contain inscriptions in both Brahmi and Kharoshthi scripts. This indicates multilingual usage and wide trade relations in the region during that era. Devanagari did not exist at that time, and Prakrit and Pali are languages, not scripts—hence the correct combination is Brahmi and Kharoshthi.
Q4. Which name is not included among the four Kuninda coins found in Almora?
(A) Shivpalita
(B) Haridatta
(C) Gomitra
(D) Shivdatta
Click To Show Answer/Hide
Explanation: The four names found on Kuninda coins from Almora are Shivpalita, Haridatta, Shivdatta, and Maghabhata. The name Gomitra appears mainly in the 54 coins discovered from the Katyur valley, not among the Almora coins—therefore it is excluded.
Q5. Most of the 54 coins found from the Katyur Valley (Bageshwar) bear the name of which ruler?
(A) Shivdatta
(B) Gomitra (Gaumitra)
(C) Vijayabhuti
(D) Asek
Click To Show Answer/Hide
Explanation: Among the 54 Kuninda coins discovered from the Katyur Valley, most bear the name Gomitra. Only one coin is linked to Asek and one to Shivdatta. The large number of Gomitra coins indicates his strong political and economic influence in that region.
