About the Book
This book focuses on a unique series of copper coins depicting Siva, holding a trident and battle-axe, with a leopard skin draped over his left arm, and an early Brahmi legend inscribed on the obverse. The reverse features a deer facing an arched symbol.
Shastri’s study brings to light four new specimens of these coins, showing a three-headed Siva seated on Apasmara-purusha, conclusively clarifying that the term Chitresvara indeed refers to Siva. The book provides detailed numismatic analysis, historical context, and iconographic interpretation, making it an essential resource for archaeologists, historians, and students of ancient Indian numismatics and religious iconography.
