Book Description
The book deals with the discussion, criticism and systematic arrangement of our knowledge of the indigenous system of Ancient Indian Numismatics upto the 3rd cent. A.D. with special reference to Nothern India. It embodies the result of my work on a rather intricate and difficult subject which had not received the amount of attention from scholars which it fully deserves.
The study of the evolutionary processes of coinage in Ancient India will lead to a new orientation; and a comparison between the Indian and foreign processes and their parallel development will establish a bond of uniformity, and incidentally point out the necessary differences.
The book deals with the discussion, criticism and systematic arrangement of our knowledge of the indigenous system of Ancient Indian Numismatics up to the 3rd cent. A.D. with special reference to Nothern India. It embodies the result of my work on a rather intricate and difficult subject which had not received the amount of attention from scholars which it fully deserves. I have spared no pains in making an exhaustive study of the literature on the subject and put it under a systematic and thorough criticism which had led to the discovery of new facts and the correction of many errors.
