Answer 1

(Definition) Numismatics is the study or collection of coins and currency. It’s among the crucial tools for the archaeologists and historians seeking information of trade, economy, religion, society and personages in a particular area.(Origin) Although archeologists have found terracotta seals in the Indus valley civilization sites, there is no consensus on whether these seals were in fact coins. Hence, the earliest of regular dynastic coins are attributed to Indo-Greeks, the Saka-Pallava and the Kushans. Gupta coinage (4th-6th centuries AD) followed the Kushan tradition by depicting the king on the obverse and a deity on the reverse.
