Solution

The correct option is A Varahas
Varahas were known as the gold coins of Vijayanagara kingdom. Vijayanagara kingdom was established in 1336 by the brothers Harihara I and Bukka Raya I of Sangama Dynasty. Vijayanagara kingdom lasted until 1646, although its power declined after a major military defeat in the Battle of Talikota in 1565 by the combined armies of the Deccan sultanates.
