Does anyone know of a catalogue, with price guide to Indian coins, dating from 300BC to about modern.
Any names of books/websites would be helpful.
I just started my Indian collection.
With mughals, to provincial to the early colonisation by the British/Dutch/Portugese.


Thanks in Advanced.

    You might also try your question on the South Asia Coin Group.

    For English language price guides, I think Krause is it. If you want good coverage(without prices) of 300BC to date, be prepared to buy 20+ books and spend several thousand dollars.

    I don't own them, but the Mitchiner books are reportedly the most comprehensive out there($200+ each).

    The link newbiecollector provided is the best source of information and books I've been able to find.

    I recently picked up Coins of the Indian Sultanates form Abebooks and Coins of the Sikhs from Alibris inexpensively, both from sellers in India.

    Biblio.com also has a few inexpensive books listed from sellers in India, the difficulty is finding a review of the book to see if it's worth buying.
