Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of the fact that the study of the Indian coins is indispensable for India, which is rather devoid of the literary records containing the matter for the reconstruction of its early history, but still the origin of these has always remained a debatable issue among the scholars. As commonly perceived, the coins serve as the vital source for the reconstruction of the economic history of a country. However, these can also be viewed from diverse angles and can be utilized effectively to reconstruct not only the economic history of the time, but also to know about the dresses, ornaments, crowns, hair-styles, weapons, polity, religion, beliefs and practices, art, trade, transport, language, script, science, technology and much more. Hence, the information furnished by the coins is inevitably useful as these are directly related to the society and reflect the prevailing culture in which these are circulated. This book attempts to trace the beginning and the bit-by-bit enhancement in the process of the circulation of the coins in the society gradually up to the c. 4th century CE, after which the picture comparatively becomes clear. It takes a look into the other related aspects as well, like, the problems associated with the identification of the early Indian coins sans inscriptions, the types of coins, their issuing authorities, the raw material used in their manufacturing and the techniques adopted for the purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses theories of monetary and financial innovation and applies them to key monetary and financial innovations in history – starting with the use of silver bars in Mesopotamia and ending with the emergence of the Eurodollar market in London. The key monetary innovations are coinage (Asia minor, China, India), the payment of interest on loans, the bill of exchange and deposit banking (Venice, Antwerp, Amsterdam, London). The main financial innovation is the emergence of bond markets (also starting in Venice). Episodes of innovation are contrasted with relatively stagnant environments (the Persian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Spanish Empire). The comparisons suggest that small, open and competing jurisdictions have been more innovative than large empires – as has been suggested by David Hume in 1742.

Download or read book Ancient Indian Coins written by Osmund Bopearachchi and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important contribution about ancient coins in India has been written jointly by Osmund Bopearachchi and Wilfried Pieper. It is an impressive volume of 289 pages with 59 plates which presents a private collection of ancient coins patiently gathered trough the years. In Part one, W.Pieper develops a historical commentary about the earliest coinages of India, the imperial period of late Magadha and Maurya rule ( ca late IVth-early IInd centuries B.C.), Ujjain and Eran, the Satavahanas (ca Ist century B.C.-early IInd century A.D.), and tribal republics and kingdoms in post-Mauryan northern India ( ca 200 B.C-ca 300 A.D.). This commentary is followed by a detailed catalogue with very precise drawings of more than 600 coins and punch-marked coins. Part two by o. Bopearachhi is organized on the same pattern: a historical commentary about foreign powers in ancient northern India, from the Bactrian Greeks untill the time of the early Kushans followed by a precise catalogue presenting Greek, Graeco-Bactrian and Indo-Greek, Indo-Scythian, Indo-Parthian, and early Kushan coins (in fact, more than 300 specimens). The commentary intends to give a general overview of the coins concerned and of their historical context with a more extensive discussion of the series best represented in the collection. For the indigenous Indian coins this is specially true for the coinages of Ujjain, Eran, Taxila and Kausambi, many of which are new and published here for the first time.

Excerpt: ...63 to 66-4 grains, give an average of 64-9 grains. But these are, perhaps, half-suvarnas, of 72 grains, full weight. The oldest of them are broad, thin, punchmarked coins, of more than 66 grains. They bear the names of Chalukya, and are assigned by W. Elliot to the fifth and sixth centuries A.d. I acquiesce in this date, as the inscribed silver coins that were found in their company are of about the same period. The actual age of the heavier Huns, or gold Karshas, is not known; but I am able to fix the date of one of the most remarkable specimens as certainly not later than the eleventh century. In the history of Kashmir it is stated that Raja Harsha Deva "liked the customs of the south, and introduced coins like those current in Karnata."34 Now I possess a gold coin of this king, with the name 34 Raja TaraDgini, B. vii. Translation by Jogesh Chunder Butt, p. 238). of "Sri Harsha Deva" on one side, and on the other a caparisoned elephant walking to the right, which is an evident copy of one of the Karnati gold coins of the same type. See W. Elliot's Coins of South India, Plate III., 109; and Marsden Numismata Orientalia, Plate XLVIIL, 1059. But the Kashmir coin is a half suvarna, of 72 grains, while the southern coin is a Hun, of 58 grains. Harsha Deva reigned from A.d. 1089 to 1101. The gold coins of ancient India were as follows: --NAMES. Grains..fa Hun, or Fanam. J Hun, or Mada i Hun, or Pratapa. 1 Hun Varaha, or Pagoda 1 Karsha (full weight) i Suvarna 1 Suvarna 1 Nishka, Pala, or Satamana 5-28 13-20 26-40 52-80 57-60 72-00 144-00 576-00 In former days it was the general opinion of classical scholars that the art of coinage had been introduced into India by the Bactrian Greeks.36 Some twenty years ago I pointed out a...
