Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A(सिक्का)
'गधैया' (Gadhaiya Paisa) पूर्व-मध्यकाल (8वीं से 12वीं शताब्दी) के दौरान पश्चिमी भारत (गुजरात, राजस्थान, मालवा) में प्रचलित एक प्रकार का चांदी एवं तांबे का सिक्का था। यह ससानी (ईरानी) सिक्कों के अनुकरण पर ढाला गया था जिस पर विकृत मानव मुख और अग्निकुंड के प्रतीक बने होते थे।
'Gadhaiya' (or Gadhaiya Paisa) was a distinctive debased silver and billon coin circulated widely across western India (Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Malwa) during the early medieval period (8th to 12th centuries AD), stylistically derived from Indo-Sasanian coinage.
