Introduction to the Study of Numismatics: Fundamentals

By Arthur Needham and Mohammed Tariq Ansari

The book was initially designed as a handbook for postgraduate students wishing to undertake studies in numismatics. However, after initial release as a study handbook it become a fundamental guide for astute ancient and medieval coin collectors who wished to advance their knowledge.

The new methodologies introduced in coin illustration and coin metrology have found adherents within the research community.

The clear advice on the new metrology methodology first discussed several years ago in various lectures has opened new pathways for comprehensive reviews of the development of coin metrology and the use within both the kingdom of issue and the use of coinage across the world in trade and normal everyday use.

The clear review of Gresham's law enables the full view of the use of standard issue coinage in international trade especially across the trade routes of the land and maritime Silk Road.

It offers brave new directions in numismatic research.
