    B)  Mahmud Ghazni                       

    C)  Jainul Abidin                

    D)  Akbar              

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     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 Lakshmi Coins' which were copied by later rulers both in gold as well as in debase form. The Hindu symbol of Swastika appears on many of Akbars coins along with the "Kalima" (Islamic affirmation of faith). Some of his silver coins also had the words "Rama" and "Gobind" on them.
