Question

How coins/numismatics help in reconstructing the past.

Answer 1

Answer:

I am assuming this is a five mark question

Explanation:

• The study of coins is called numismatics.

• The writings on the coin give us the names of the rulers who issued them
• They also tell us the date of the reign (of the particular ruler)
• They give an insight in the economy of the period
• Coins of a particular kingdom found in different places indicate that that region was a part of that kingdom or traded with it.
