Coins Catalogue No. 1 Mysore

By Edgar Thurston

Coins Catalogue No. 1 Mysore opens the cabinet doors of a vanished kingdom, laying out the monetary life of Mysore in crisp, authoritative detail. Every coin tells a story. Compiled by Edgar Thurston, distinguished curator of the Madras Museum, this classic indian coin catalog arranges Mysore state coinage as a true museum coin catalogue: careful, descriptive, and anchored in the wider fabric of south indian coins and historical indian currency. Both serious collectors and curious readers see how designs, metals, languages and legends mirror Mysore India history and the shifting power of rulers across the Indian princely states coins. For students of British India numismatics, this is a dependable numismatic reference guide; for dealers and enthusiasts it stands as a practical coin collectors reference and a doorway into classic indian numismatics. Scholars pursuing numismatics for researchers value Thurston's precise classifications and historical notes, which still underpin modern work on regional issues. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Republished in a careful modern edition, it suits the working desk of the specialist as comfortably as the shelves of a connoisseur, bridging museum scholarship and living passion for the coins of Mysore.
