    1. Mohammad Ghori
    2. Mahmud Ghazni
    3. Jainul Abidin
    4. Akbar
Correct Option: A

Mohammad Ghori issued the coins with seated Lakshmi on one side and ruler's name in Devanagri on the other. These were revived by Gangeyadeva the Kalachuri ruler who issued the 'Seated Lakshami Coins' which were copied by later rulers both in gold as well as in debase form. The Bull & Horseman types of coins were the most common motif appearing on coins struck by the Rajput clans. In western India, imported coins like the Byzantine Solidi were often used reflecting trade with the Eastern Roman Empire.
