Description
This is the second catalogue in Edgar Thurston’s authoritative numismatic series, focusing on coins from three significant historical regions and periods: Roman, Indo-Portuguese, and Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka). Thurston’s meticulous documentation provides collectors, historians, and numismatists with detailed information about coin characteristics, origins, and historical significance.
The work represents a valuable scholarly contribution to the study of ancient and colonial currency systems. Each entry includes comprehensive descriptions of coins from these distinct monetary traditions, offering insights into the economic, political, and cultural contexts in which they circulated. This catalogue serves as an essential reference for anyone interested in numismatic history, ancient coinage, or the commercial heritage of the Indian Ocean region and Mediterranean world.
Originally published as part of a larger cataloguing project, this volume remains a fundamental resource for numismatists and historians studying these particular coin series and their broader historical importance.
