About the Book
This volume presents a detailed study of 333 ancient silver punch-marked coins discovered in July 1997 from Sarai Dangri village, Varanasi, during the construction of a primary school. The coins, handed over to Bharat Kala Bhavan, Banaras Hindu University, represent Imperial Karsapana, dating approximately from the 4th to 2nd century BCE and comprising seventy-six varieties.
The book is organized into four parts:
-
Part I: Introduction highlighting the importance of the hoard and providing a comprehensive backdrop.
-
Part II: Classification and cataloguing of the coins, including references to published material and detailed tables.
-
Part III: Observations on the study, detailed symbol tables, extra-marks, and half-coin descriptions.
-
Part IV: Appendices covering weight and measures, fabrication techniques, chemical analyses, dispersal, hoard lists, and bibliography.
This scholarly work serves as an invaluable resource for numismatists, archaeologists, and historians interested in early Indian coinage and economic history.
