This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2015 Paper 1 Question Paper (27-Dec-2015)
The correct answer is

Kushan

Copper currency served daily trade, and its volume shows how deeply money had entered the economy.

The Kushans, especially Vima Kadphises and Kanishka, struck copper coins in enormous numbers across north-western and northern India, alongside their gold issues.

The Satavahanas used lead and potin more, the Indo-Greeks preferred silver, and the Guptas issued mainly gold with relatively few copper pieces.

Hence, Kushan.
