About This Book

A concise illustrated survey presents the development of monetary art and practice across the Indian subcontinent, tracing early issues through the series associated with Indo-Greek, Scythian and Parthian influences, Kushan and Gupta regimes, regional medieval south and north coinages, and the Muslim dynasties and their successors. It explains how changes in design, metal, and inscriptions mirror political, economic, and cultural movements, and argues for the value of coins as historical evidence. Organized by period and region, the work supplies plates with keys, a select bibliography, and practical orientation for students and collectors.
