ESSAYS ON INDIAN ANTIQUITIES, HISTORIC, NUMISMATIC, AND PALAEOGRAPHIC, Vol - 1 Paperback – 1 January 2021

Indian numismatics has a key place within world numismatics. It started about two centuries ago when many Indophiles started studying Indian coins which were almost three millennia old by that time. There was very little literature begin the study with, and a number pioneers had to work hard to make sense out of the tens of thousands of unidentified coins. James Prinsep was one of the pioneers.Princep's book has long been out of print, and it was reprinted only recent years. While totally inadequate and outdated, the book continues to have great value to Indian numismatists because of the historical background and material contained in it.Highly valuable resource!
