Book Description

About the Author-1 The Late Dr. Parmeshwari Lal Gupta An internationally renowned scholar of Indian numismatics, the Late Dr. Parmeshwari Lal Gupta (1914-2001) was a freedom-fighter, journalist, numismatist, and a litterateur all combined in one. Obtaining his Ph.D. from the Banaras Hindu University in 1960 for his pioneering and landmark work on Punchmarked coins, he worked at various places including Bharat Kala Bhavan, BHU, the Prince of Wales Museum, Mumbai, and the Patna Museum, Patna. In 1984, he joined as the first Director of the Indian Institute of Research in Numismatic Studies, and even after retirement continued to serve the Institute as Chairman, Governing Council till his demise. Recipient of numerous awards and medals, he authored several books on Indian numismatics, history, epigraphy and archaeology in English and Hindi.

About the Author-1 Terry Hardaker After taking a degree in Geography from the University of Cambridge, Terry Hardaker spent a year teaching in Ahmedabad, India. He then followed a career as a cartographer, while pursuing numismatics and archaeology as spare time occupations. Working from 1972 with Dr. Parmeshwari Lal Gupta, he jointly authored the first edition of the current work. He is a Fellow of the Royal Numismatic Society, London, an Honorary Research Fellow, School of Archaeology. University of Liverpool, and an Honorary Research Associate at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.

Preface When this work was first conceived in the late 1900, there existed a wide gap in the numismatic literature of the ancient Indian period. To fill this entirely, Le to cover not only the silver punchmarked cries but also the many other serves of ancient Indian com, would be an undertaking which on single author could carry out in a tidy definitive way liven the punchmarked coins themselves could not, without extensive research in India and elsewhere be fully catalogued, let alone attributed or discussed in a historical contest It was therefore decided to fun this study to the one series of coins which could be discussed, classified and listed in a reasonably comprehensive way. Because das abo happens to be by far the commonest series of punchmarked coins, the catalogue will serve to identify most of the specimens available to collectors and students The basis of this work is the unpublished PhD thesis of Dr. Parmeshwarilal Gupta (1957), which for the first time listed all the then known varieties in this series of coins. This was supplemented in 1963 by his work on the Amaravati board of silver punchmarked coins. The present Catalogue is an updated version of these works is which Hardaker has redrawn all the symbols, subdivided and extended the sis original "periods", and adopted a new system of numbering The new varieties which have appeared since 1963 have also been incorporated. The Catalogue and the test represent the joint views of both authors Since our work began, many of the punchmarked coins covered here have been photographically recorded in works by Michael Mitchiner. In his book The Ancient and Classical World, the same symbol drawings and numbering system have been used as in the present work. Punchmarked coins are still on the frontier of numismatic research. In this situation a catalogue cannot be declared complete, as new varieties are likely to appear subsequently. The method of cataloguing employed here allows for new varieties to take their place without upsetting the general classification, thus hopefully prolonging the useful life of this as a reference work. The authors are grateful to the following for permission to reproduce photographs of their coins The Department of Coins and Medals, the British Museum, for coins 142, 285, 363, 367, 371,387, 395, 427, 468, 484, 522, 527, 560, 572, The Heberden Coin Room, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, for coin 65, Michael Broome for coins 39, 45, 46, 61, 62, 64, 71, 75, 80, 85, 87, 99, 108, 115, 118, 129, 130, 131, 132, 138, 140, 153, 158, 160, 163, 164, 189, 193, 213, 217, 218, 226, 233, 243, 246, Michael Mitchiner for coins 210, 238, Craig Burns for coins 232, 242 The authors are also grateful to Michael Dudley whose care in photographing the bulk of the coins has enabled a high standard of reproduction, and Cook, Hammond & Kell Ltd., who printed the plates.
