Description

The book is a collection of thirty-one chapters dealing with coins and currency from the period of their appearance to the modern times. A new series of local early silver coins have been published here for the first time. The papers bring to light the first Kshudraka and Vrishni copper coins, new varieties of Kada and Arjunayana coins, the smallest coins of the Malavas and Ala-ud-Din Khilji, a unique coin of Shah Alam II and a rare bilingual commemorative medal of the time of Guru Gobind Singh, some interesting temple tokens, commemorative medals, etc. Interesting pieces like Alexander's tatradrachm, coins of Rudrila and the paper coins of the Bikaner state also find place in these pages.

Neglected coins of the Rajanyas have been brought to the notice of the scholars and some wrongly attributed coins like those of the Audmbara-Mitras, Vidisagupta and `Thaka-pa` have been reattributed. Punch-marked coins from Sunh and legends on Agacha coins have been studied afresh. The significance of Invaradatta`s dated coin restruck and reused Kushana and Yaudheya coins and the bearing of the Yaudheya coin moulds have been brought out adequately. A comprehensive study of the coins of Somaladevi and seals and sealings from Punjab has been presented. The book thus brings to light not only fresh material but also presents new interpretations of known coins and legends.
