DESCRIPTION |
|
| Tribal coins throw a flood of light on the history, culture, religion, economy, polity, trade commerce, technology symbology, metrology movements, etc. of the various tribes in ancient India. They thus enlighten us about various tribes in ancient India. They thus enlighten us about various tribes in ancient India. Numismatic discoveries made from time to time, interpretation and never techniques of analysis have rendered earlier views in many cases as obsolute and worth revision. Some new types of Agreya Coins published recently through fresh light on the religious proclivities of the Agras. Coins discovered from Nohar show the presence of the Arjunayana tribe in North Eastern Rajasthan. A Critical analysis of the typology and provenance of Audumbara coins reveals that the monarchical issues of the Mitra rulers do not actually belong to the Tribe and that there was no ruler of the name. of Mahadeva belonging to the Audumbara stock, thus rendering the old classification of there coins as outdated. The discovery of the hoards at Chakar near Mandi and at Hat Koti and Jalog in Shimla district in Himachal Pradesh, stray finds of new types of Kuninda Coin molds from regular excavations at Sanghol in Punjab and their coins from the sites of the Senya Cheti. (Eagle shaped fire altar ) at Purola in uttaranchal have thrown fresh light on thweir history, culture, religion kingship, capital, mint sites and techniques of minting, trade and commerce, etc. The diminutive nature of malava coins as evidence of poor economy stands challenged in the light of epigraphic evidence. The evidence of the Kshudraks and Savitriputras has been proved on the basis of their coins. The Vemakis were known only from Rudravarman's silver and a dubious copper coin but the author has brought two of their new rulers - Bhavavarman and Sivaghosha - to light. The settlement of the Vishnis at Sunet near Ludhiana is proved by a number of their seals, sealing and copper coins. Many fallacies about the Yaudheyas have also been corrected by a fresh and analysis of their Coins. This book, based on a study of variouspublished and unpublished hoards and strays find of coins in institutional and private collection is the first Indian publication on the trial coins containing the largest number of illustration bringing to light many new coins and offering new interpretations. |
