INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF NUMISMATICS: THE FUNDAMENTALS

An handbook for those wishing to study numismatics at a postgraduate level.

The work concentrates on ancient and medieval coins. Although written for students specifically in India the work covers the major area for understanding numismatics in its purest form  but is appropriate for coin collectors who wish to know more about the process of making and using coins within the real world marketplace.

The book is generously illustrated in full colour with real examples including the use of the colour overlay system of coin inscription illustration first used in their expanding series “The Coins of India”.

The technical details are presented in an easy to read but highly technical and informative manner.

This is the technical book to accompany a new series in coin books from a variety of writers on numismatics and coin collecting on various ancient and medieveal coin series around the world.

Any student or collector of coins should have this publication on their shelves.
