In Bharttridáman's earlier coins the legend reads: Rajño Mahákshatrapasa Rudrasenaputrasa Rajñah Kshatrapasa Bhartridámnah. Of the king the Kshatrapa Bharttridáman son of the king the great Kshatrapa Rudrasena. In the later coins the legend is the same except that mahákshatrapasa the great Kshatrapa takes the place of kshatrapasa the Kshatrapa. [Kshatrapa XX. Visvasena, A.D. 294-300.] Bharttridáman was succeeded by his son Visvasena the twentieth Kshatrapa. His coins are fairly common, and of bad workmanship, the legend imperfect and carelessly struck, the obverse rarely dated. Of twenty-five in Dr. Bhagvánlál's collection, only three bear doubtful dates one 218 and two 222. The legend reads: Rájño Mahákshatrapasa Bhartridáma putrasa Rájñah Kshatrapasa Visvasenasa. Of the king the Kshatrapa Visvasena son of the king the Mahákshatrapa Bharttridáman. It would seem from the lower title of Kshatrapa which we find given to Visvasena and to most of the later Kshatrapas that from about 220 (A.D. 298) the Kshatrapa dominion lost its importance. A hoard of coins found in 1861 near Karád on the Krishna, thirty-one miles south of Sátára, suggests [143] that the Kshatrapas retained the North Konkan and held a considerable share of the West Dakhan down to the time of Visvasena (A.D. 300). The hoard includes coins of the six following rulers: Vijayasena (A.D. 238-249), his brother Dámájadasrí III. (A.D. 251-255), Rudrasena II. (A.D. 256-272) son of Víradáman, Visvasimha (A.D. 272-278) son of Rudrasena, Bharttridáman (A.D. 278-294) son of Rudrasena II., and Visvasena (A.D. 296-300) son of Bharttridáman. It may be argued that this Karád hoard is of no historical value being the chance importation of some Gujarát pilgrim to the Krishna. The following considerations favour the view that the contents of the hoard furnish evidence of the local rule of the kings whose coins have been found at Karád. The date (A.D. 238-249) of Vijayasena, the earliest king of the hoard, agrees well with the spread of Gujarát power in the Dakhan as it follows the overthrow both of the west (A.D. 180-200) and of the east (A.D. 220) Sátakarnis, while it precedes the establishment of any later west Dakhan dynasty: (2) All the kings whose coins occur in the hoard were Mahákshatrapas and from the details in the Periplus (A.D. 247), the earliest, Vijayasena, must have been a ruler of special wealth and power: (3) That the coins cease with Visvasena (A.D. 296-300) is in accord with the fact that Visvasena was the last of the direct line of Chashtana, and that with or before the close of Visvasena's reign the power of the Gujarát Kshatrapas declined. The presumption that Kshatrapa power was at its height during the reigns of the kings whose coins have been found at Karád is strengthened by the discovery at Amrávati
