This booklet on the Coins of India was originally prepared by Thiru. P.N. Mohan Das, former curator of the Numismatics section of Government Museum. Chennai. The historical references in it were checked by Prof. T. Balakrishnan Navar, former Principal Presidency College, Madras
This booklet serves as a guide for study of some of the important coins of India in the collection of the Government Museum. Chennai.
Part I of the booklet gives a general introduction to the history and coinage of the dynasties and Part II contains the detailed description of the individual coins.
The original booklet contained the photographs of the coins in separate plates. This new revised edition provides presents the photographs of the coins along with the descriptions for the convenience of the readers.
We felt that it is necessary to come up with a reprint of this book as a low priced edition for the spread of the knowledge of Indian Numismatics. Readers may also like to refer to the manual on the Numismatics Gallery by Dr.R Kannan published by the Government Museum. Chennai for detailed study on the subject.
