Copper in Ancient India c8.s4.4

c8.s4.4

Dr. G.P. Taylor³ has compiled an interesting table of Indian mints during the rule of the Moghul Emperors “commencing with the accession of Babar in 1525 A.D. and closing with the deposition of Bahadur (Shah) in the fateful year of the Mutiny,” from which the following list of places in which copper coins used to be minted has been compiled.⁴ It is to be noted that mints for coining copper coins existed in every considerable town throughout India during the Moghul period.
