Mahabharata Era Coins: Kya Ye Sikka श्रीकृष्ण के हाथों से छुआ गया था?

Mahabharata Era Coins: Kya Ye Sikka श्रीकृष्ण के हाथों से छुआ गया था? | BW 41

In this episode, we time-travelled to the golden period of Ancient History with Numismatist Mitresh Singh ji, historian, and one of India’s foremost authorities on ancient and medieval coinage. With decades of research and a vast personal collection, he has contributed immensely to preserving and decoding India’s monetary history.

Together, we journeyed through India’s coinage, from the time of the Mahabharata to the notes in our wallets today. He walked us through the fascinating coins of the 16 Mahajanapadas, explained their weight, symbols, and making techniques, and revealed how each coin carries the story of its era. You’ll hear about coins from Gandhara that might have been used by Shakuni, coins from Panchala, Kuru, and Magadha, and rare impressions of deities like Lord Balarama, Shiva, and even Ram, Sita, and Lakshman.

These coins aren’t just currency, they are storytellers of dynasties, conquests, and culture, from Alexander the Great’s invasion to the empires that rose and fell, all the way to pre and post-independence notes. This episode is not just about coins, but about the soul of Indian history hidden in metal and paper.
