Description

About the Book :- In the preparation of the work, which gives a general sketch of the early development of the East India Company and of its coinage, to which the author has added a catalogue of those coins which are contained in the collection of the Madras Museum, he has received great assistance from Bruce’s ‘Annals of the Honorable East India Company’. To the British Museum he is greatly indebted for casts of many coins which are not in the Madras Museum collection. In 1887 he was engaged in going carefully over the records of the Madras Mint, from which such information was extracted as he thought to be of value and interest. The opportunity of examining, in like manner, the records of the other Indian mints did not offer itself. He hoped that this somewhat ungrateful task will eventually be carried out by numismatists in the other Presidencies. The plates were lithographed made by a Native draftsman. The book is immensely beneficial to all.
