The findings of Venetian Coins as treasure-trove hoards in India attest the second phase of her commercial relations with European countries and provide new avenues to scholars to probe further on matters of cultural and commercial contacts among Asian and European countries. By 1938 the Government Museum Chennai possessed fourteen Venetian Gold Squirs". Thiru. T.G. Aravamuthan, M.A.B.L. a Madras High Court Lawyer and the Numismatic Curator of this Museum during 1930 had written a catalogue for these coins. As an eminent scholar of his field he had dealt at length on events related to the revival of the inflow of European gold coins, particularly the Venetian coins in India in 14-15th Centuries A.D. As such this work is much useful and informative not only to the Numismatists but also to all interested in socio-cultural studies. This work, which was published in 1938 as the Museum Bulletin soon went out of print.
Under the scheme of reprinting the old publications of this Museum, now this work has been reprinted.
