    Indo-Sassanian Gadhiya paisa coins are
    degenerate copies of Sassanian silver coins
    which circulated in Afghanistan and India from the 8th to 11th centuries.
    These coins are referred as Indo-Sassanian for combining Indian characters with the
    Sassanian types. Some derive the word Gadhiya from the Ghardabhiya dynasty-which is
    an Indo-Sassanian family of that name, subsequent to the year 420 A.D.
    Reference: "Origin of Bombay by Jose Gerson de Cunha"
    The design of the coin was based on the Sassanian fire altar that was produced about 300
    years earlier. Throughout Sassanid history a freestanding fire-altar was given a prominent
    place on coinage.
