Numis Indica Free Magazine for Coin Collectors

Numis Indica is a totally free PDF magazine committed to Indian coins and numismatics. It contains popular articles, scholarly papers, useful information, and advertisement from selected sellers and numismatic/coin organizations. I have tried four issues available and all of them where very useful. The editor Shastri JC Philp has made a dedicated attempt. Also try the eBooks available and try to read the reference books available at indiancoins.org. I have seen a course that teach Brahmi. Brahmi is the most widely used language on ancient Indian coins. Any serious hobbyist would be benefited if he picks up even the rudiments of this language. Every serious numismatist should anyway learn this language. Visit the site for more fun. Download your FREE issue today itself:
