About the Book:
This catalogue exhaustively lists and illustrates 3792 coin images (line drawings
wherever needed) of ancient Indian coins of all metals except gold. Each chapter
begins with a brief history of the dynasties/series with notes on the coinage.
Maps have been profusely used. Eminent numismatists Pankaj Tandon, Alex Fishman
and Sanjeev Kumar have contributed chapters on Paratrajas, Western Kshatrapas

This will become an indispensable reference book for collectors and scholars
of ancient Indian coins for years to come.
