1329 coin types catalogued and illustrated throughout. Hardbound. Arranged in a sylloge format, this volume presents the author's collection of coins, beginning with the pre-Mauryan janapada issues and continuing through to the early post-Gupta coinages. It includes many new types, particularly the post-Mauryan bronze issues of Ujjain and Malwa.
Also included are new varieties from Taxila and Kuninda, revealing the extent and duration of formative Kushan influence in Indian numismatics, beyond the gold issues generally encountered by collectors of Kushan coinage, which are excluded from this book.
Of particular importance are the post-Gupta silver coins of the portrait-trident and portrait-fire altar types, which have only recently come to light, as well as new issues of the coinage of the Paratarajas, a fascinating series studied by Henry Falk and Pankaj Tandon. - Condition
