Who were the first kings to issue gold coins in India?

Indo Greeks

The correct answer is Option 2- Indo Greeks

The first kings to issue gold coins in India were the Indo-Greeks.

The Indo-Greeks were a group of Greek rulers who ruled over parts of North India from the 2nd to the 1st centuries BC. They were the first to introduce gold coins to India, and their coins were known for their high quality and artistry.

The Indo-Greeks were also the first to issue coins with portraits of the kings. This was a new practice in India, and it was adopted by later Indian dynasties.

The other options are incorrect as the Mauryans did not issue gold coins. The Guptas and the Cholas were later dynasties that issued gold coins, but they were not the first.
