Academics
A culmination of nearly eight years of extensive research, this book complements the history of Jahangirs Mughal coins with illustrations for a readable reference on the most sought-after Mughal coins, known for their exquisite beauty and craftsmanship. The book includes a catalog section on hundreds of different types of gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins, with images and illustrations for more than 6 total coins. The investigative approach of the author offers an appeal to numismatic scholars and academics in finding answers to some of their most baffling questions, and the book also gives special attention to hobbyists and collectors, including a chapter on forgeries that is especially helpful for new collectors.
