Answer 1

Explanation:

HEY MATE ..

Inscriptions are writings engraved on hard surfaces like metal, rock and stone. The study of inscriptions is called epigraphy. Inscriptions are an important source of information about India’s past. Inscriptions were initially made on the faces of cliffs, on stone pillars, inside caves and on rocks. In the course of time, they came to be engraved into metals-such as coins and copper plates.

For example- Tamil inscriptions written on the walls of Brihadeshwara Temple, 11th century CE.

Coins: Coins are pieces of metal that are used as money. They were usually issued by the ruler of a kingdom. The study of coins is called numismatics. The information gathered from coins tells us about the kingdom, confirms dates during which particular kings ruled, their special interests and achievements.

For example- Gold coin, called tanka, issued by Balban, 1266-1287 CE and silver coins issued by Mohammad bin Tughlaq, one of the most powerful rulers of medieval India, 1327 CE.
