The name of Gadhaiya (Gadhiya) paisa is attributed to the coins of indo-sassanian dynasties and their successors. The value was equivalent to 1 drachm. Made in Chaulukyas territory from 543 to 753 AD these coins were still produced in the same territory under others dynastys like Gujrat, Malwa, Kandesh, Bahmanis, Salankis, Paramara and Yadavas.
Commonly called 'Gadhaiya' paisa. These are un-inscribed. The Sassanian influence is visible from the crested helmet usually seen on Sassanian coins Sassanian coins were inscribed with kings name however Indo-Sassanian coins are not..!
