Join Us On a Journey of Real Numismatic Discovery

Hello
Welcome
There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us and our work. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to follow us.
Research and writing on numismatics can be just as interesting as collecting the coins themselves.
Inumismatics Comes Back Home to The Coins of India
The Joining Together of Two Numismatic Research Forces
Inumismatics, the research arm of The Coins of India, comes back home to combine forces after a few years of solid numismatic research. When the revolutionary artwork illustrations of the coins for first published it caused a sensation. So much so that careful study was needed to reproduce the artwork to museum quality for display. The new coding system needed to be refined to cover all eventualities in numismatics, not just the Indian subcontinent. The UNIT theory of coin metrology needing refining as did the advice on What Hand Struck Coin to Buy. Thankfully this background research work is to a stage now where we can get back to our book writing to keep our wonderful publisher, Manohar Publishers of Delhi, as happy as possible.
We have also joined forces with the Himalayan Institute of Archaeology and Allied Sciences (HIAAS) to provide funding for their innovative PhD student initiate. (Donations gratefully accepted).

The aim and purpose of this book is to introduce coins, offer a catalogue, and help coin enthusiasts to decipher the coins. the last aim is rarely seen in in books, and most collectors keep wondering what they can do to read the Persian script found on most Mughal coins. The book helps collectors to read the script using a unique approach.

Honestly, it is an all-around phenomenal book. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the subject or anyone planning and writing a book about any numismatics.

...beautifully written. It is a boon for beginners who generally struggle with the Persian legend on the coins....The pictures of the coins are vivid and the quality of printing is marvelous.

Not a book review BUT there have been so many demands for copies of our illustrations that we have taken time to have them reproduced on Hahnemuhle archival paper with the best inks in the world. See the link on our art page for ordering. Commissions are also taken by private negotiation.
