The coins are ascribed to: punch-marked variety, un-inscribed copper issues, Sadas, Satavahana, Roman, Kshatrapa, Ikshvaku, Kura, Chutu, Vishnukundin, Early Chera, Nolamba, Medieval Chola, Yadavas, Kalyana Kalachuris, Later Pandya, Bahmanis, Vijayanagar, Wodeyars, Mughals, Arcot Nawabs, Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. In addition, a paper on a gold ring with a legend in Tamil-Brahmi, pendants made out of Roman and Satavahana coins, detailed information on the medieval mint at Lokkigundi in Karnataka and some seal impressions on palm leaf documents in Tamil Nadu, are included. Besides these, there is a section on news and views and reviews of four books on numismatics.

Illustrated with a number of photographs and tables, this volume is likely to be useful for the numismatics, historians, epigraphists, keepers of coins in museums, coin collectors and others interested in the economic history of peninsular India." (jacket)

  • A thousand thanks for promptly sending the Pali English Dictionary which I had needed urgently. The securely packed parcel arrived safely here in the South of France all the way from distant India. I am happy that this large volume is still in mint condition. 

    I know of no other Indian publisher whose books can equal the superb quality of Vedams books. Similarly, no other Indian distributor of books can excel Vedams as regards the quickness of service, the perfect packing of books and their safe delivery at overseas destinations.
