THE IMPORTANCE OF ANCIENT COINS

The ancient coins helps us to know about the past in brief .Though it

contains several information that even the literary works do not. Often,

we see that those works had been written in favour of some popular

personality therefore it tells us everything about that person in

an exagerrated form, or if that person had done something wrong in the

past for which the others had suffered, it has not been told to us. But,

these coins tell us absolutely correct information like from the metal of

the coins we can suppose whether that kingdom had been wealthy or

relatively poor. We can also know about the accuracy of Metallurgy.

We can know bout the culture, the heritage, the legacy of the kingdom.

We can also get to know about the name of the ruler, the period of his

rule, the purple patch of his reign and almost every single information.

Hence, the coins help us to reconstruct history of the medieval period of

India.
