Indian Numismatics

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 Northern 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.
