Synopsis Coins constitute a major source of information for the history of ancient India. But a study of ancient Indian coins in a comprehensive and scientific manner at one place has been a desideratum till now which the present work from the erudite pen of Professor S.R. Goyal, one of the greatest living authorities on Indian history seeks to fulfil. Dr. Goyal, famous for his authoritative and highly acclaimed works on ancient Indian political history, epigraphy and religions, has already carved a niche for himself as a numismatist by his Indigenous Coins of Early India, An Introduction to Gupta Numismatics and The Dynastic Coins of Ancient India. The present monograph covers the entire period dealt with in these monographs. It is divided into fourteen chapters and contains a detailed bibliography, numerous photographic representations and linedrawings. On many a numismatic problems it sheds new light and suggests new solutions. It will surely be a big help to the teachers, researchers and students of ancient Indian numismatics and shall remain an authoritative work on the subject for decades to come.
