Answers
Explanation:
The coins are the earliest evidence of the economic activity of the human being. When early men started to have surplus produce, the need for exchange was felt. In the primitive society, this exchange was done through barter – commodity for commodity or commodity for service. However, as the social structure grew complex and the needs of the people multiplied, a metallic medium, commonly accepted by all, came into use. These metallic media varied in different societies: if it was Nishka – an ornament in the Vedic Society in India, in China it was an iron knife. Later metallic pieces of definite weight and purity came into use in India. These pieces were stamped with certain symbols, probably to vouch for their weight and fineness. Thus, Punch Marked Coins, the earliest coinage of the world was born in India.
The coins were primarily minted in gold, silver and copper, but sometimes alloys of different metals were also used. The manufacturing techniques also differed from punch marking to casting and die-striking. All these features reflect the advancement in metallurgy during those times.
On the basis of their contents the coins are of two kinds: uninscribed and inscribed. The coins bearing inscriptions or the legends generally display the name and title of the issuer, and sometimes, particularly during the medieval times, also the date and place of their issue. These features help a historian in ascertaining the development, use and extent of a particular script, the name of the issuer, his reign, the extent of his empire and a number of such things.
