The book deals with the discussion, criticism and systematic arrangement of our knowledge of the indigenous system of Ancient Indian Numismatics up to the3rd century A.D. with special reference to Northern India. It embodies the result of his work on a rather intricate and difficult subject which had not received the amount of attention from scholars which it fully deserves. The author has spared no pains in making an exhaustive study of the literature on the subject and put it under a systematic and thorough criticism which had led to the discovery of new facts and the correction of many errors. The correlation of the known data thus enlightens a dark corner of Indian Archaeology and consequently tends to the advancement of knowledge of Indian Numismatics of the earliest period. The eight chapters in which the work is divided give a condensed and systematic information about the important numismatic data of the period under review and a clear statement and criticism of the main theories of Cunningham, Smith and Profs. Rapson and Bhandarkar, the pioneers on the subject.

Surendra Kisor Chakravarty was a famous Bengali scholar, author, historian and numismatist. He was a member of the Royal Asiatic Society, London; the Kern Institute, Leyden ad the Numismatic Society of India. He was also a Professor of History, Anand Mohan College, Mymensingh, West Bengal.
