Coins by Edgar Thurston is a seminal reprint that delves deep into the fascinating history, art, and evolution of Indian coinage. Originally written by the Superintendent of the Madras Government Central Museum, this scholarly work offers a richly detailed account of coinage across regions like Mysore, Madras, Bengal, and British India. It explores everything from royal minting traditions to inscriptions, motifs, metal composition, and historical context, making it a vital resource for historians, numismatists, and students of South Asian heritage. Thurston combines fieldwork, museum collections, and literary analysis to unravel the symbolic and economic narratives embedded in coins, offering a rare look at how money intersects with religion, power, and colonial transformation. This reprint, meticulously preserved and presented by Salmon Books, ensures that modern readers can appreciate and study a foundational text in Indian numismatics.
