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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once again, at the very outset, I wish to clarify that this is not a new work : This WebGuruCool Indological Studies 4 incorporates parts of my work, Encyclopaedia of Indian Coins (Ancient Coins of Northern India up to c 650 AD), a two-volume work, published by Agam Kala Prakashan, Delhi, in 2012. The main object behind undertaking this publication is my wish to make information about ancient Indian coin denominations, available to students, who may be interested, but are unable to access the Encyclopaedia. On a more selfish note, it is a sort of an advertisement for the Encyclopaedia. It is hoped that a perusal of this WebGuruCool Indological Studies 4 may whet the appetite of the readers for the Encyclopaedia. For a brief survey of ancient Indian coinage system, I would refer the reader to the Introduction of my Encyclopaedia of Indian Coins (Ancient Coins of Northern India up to c 650 AD) 1, to my Gleanings in Ancient Indian Numismatics, and to my joint work with Professor K K Thaplyal, Coins of Ancient India. In the Dictionary proper, ancient Indian coin denominations have been arranged in an alphabetical order. Significant ancient texts, mentioning coin denominations, have also been included. I acknowledge, with a profound sense of gratitude, the inspiration I always receive from my Guru, Professor K K Thaplyal, and the warm support extended to me by my family, and extended family of students—Wife Dr Nidhi Srivastava, daughters Pratichi and Purvi, son-in-law Kumar Aishvarya, and students Dr Umesh Singh, Dr Jitesh Kumar Singh, Sushil Chand and Abhay Pratap Singh Rajawat. 04 February 2023.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1891 edition. 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...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Present Thesis Fulfils A Long Felt Desideratum In The Field Of Numismatical Studies In India. So Far Our Knowledge About Early Medieval Coinage Of India Has Been Very Poor And Pragmentary. A Systematic And Comprehensive Study Of Sporadic Materials Has Been, For The First Time, Successfully Attempted In This Subject. The Author With Industry And Intelligence Has Collected Thematerials, Sorted And Collated Them And Reconstructed The Structure Of His Subject. It Is Based On The Discovery Of New Facts And Fresh Interpretation Of Already Known Facts And Current Theories. It Is Both Exhaustive And Critical. It Positively Forms A Valuable Contribution To The Literature Of Numismatics And Tends Generally To The Advancement Of Knowledge.The Present Work Shows The Painstaking Labour, A Critical Study Of The Subject, And Above All Original Suggestions Which Undoubtedly Enhance The Value Of The Dissertation Like The Present One. The Up-To-Date Bibliography Shows An Extensive Range Of Study In The Political History Of The Dynasties As Well, Without A Thorough Knowledge Of Which The Present Attempt Could Hardly Have Been Possible. The Author Has Rightly Rejected The View Of D.W. Macdowall, On The Coins Of Gangeyadeva. D.W. Macdowall Is No Doubt A Great Numismatist, And I Am Glad To See That A Young Scholar Is Not Afraid To Criticise Eminent Authorities Here As Well As Elsewhere And His Criticisms Are Just And Reasonable. The Magadh University Should Undertake The Task Of The Publication Of This Valuable Work.

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.
