  1. Ancient Indian Coins<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ancient Indian Coins are an important source of history, as they help in constructing history and help in understanding important historical processes.<\/p>\n

    Let\u2019s take an example of Kushana coins which suggested their trading activities. The presence of ship motifs on Satvahana coinage reflects the importance of maritime trade. The inscribed figures of rulers, deities, and legends give us an insight into the social and political aspects of various kingdoms.<\/p>\n

    Western Kshatrapas or a Scythian dynasty ruled a large kingdom in western India from the 1st to the early 5th century. They have a very rich and interesting coinage. The coinage was based on Indo-Greek Kings. The coins show a royal bust, a thunderbolt, and an arrow, and later, a chaitya or three-arched hill and river symbol with a crescent and the sun, within a legend in Brahmi. These coins had information about the name of the King, of his father, and the date of issue, and have helped clarify the early history of India.<\/p>\n
