Indo-Portuguese Numismatics has not yet been treated with that scientific method of exposition which has of late been bestowed upon other branches of Indian archaeology. The reason of this omission is probably the difficulty in obtaining examples to illustrate, and in consulting archives to describe the subject. The book is the product of extensive study of Numismatics at that time. It means it is the study or collection of currency, including coins, tokens, paper money and related objects. While numismatists are often characterized as students or collectors of coins, the discipline also includes the broader study of money and other payment media used to resolve debts and the exchange of goods. The subject of the book is very interesting and delicate. There is no statement in the book to which exception may justly be taken. The illustrations require a word of explanation. The author has preserved these fine pictures from oblivion, which he considers his duty. Though the book is rare one, it is good for readers and researchers.

José Gerson da Cunha was a Goan physician who achieved international renown as an orientalist, historian, linguist and numismatist. Cunha did his primary studies and study of humanities in Panjim. He then moved to Bombay and enrolled in the Grant Medical College to pursue his medical studies. While there, Cunha distinguished himself by winning many prizes. However, he failed to obtain his licentiate in Medicine, and instead obtained the first degree of Licentiate of the University of Bombay in 1864.
