India’s history is vast and extensive and it is impossible to talk about Indian coinage without delving into its history. India’s historic coinage can be dated back to some 2600 odd years. A trail of India’s intricate coins can be seen with the coming of rulers like Alexander the Great, the Dutch, the Portuguese and the British. It is important to note, that old Indian coins are not just odd pieces of metal, they are our links to the past which help us understand our rich culture and heritage better. A hint at the multi-cultural forces that shaped this country is witnessed from coins dating back to Kanishka, featuring Iranian goddesses and Zoroastrian ideas.
