In time, long enough, sourced, offline hook citation accepted AGF, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done, image appropriately licensed. Johnbod, a citation after "Some coins commemorate ..." wouldn't hurt, although there are enough citations in the surrounding sentences that this isn't a big issue. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:25, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Current ref 78 does that, surely? "Some coins commemorate the Vedic Ashvamedha horse sacrifice ritual, which the Gupta kings practiced. These have the sacrificial horse on the obverse and the queen on the reverse.[78]" The ref copvers both the hook & the image. Johnbod (talk) 17:04, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

If it were me, I would probably repeat that reference at the end of the first sentence ("Some coins ... practiced.[78] These ... reverse.[78]"). Given how the two sentences work together, however, I don't think it is strictly necessary. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:46, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
