NEW BOOK: TOKENS OF THE INDIAN MINTS

Robert Puddester writes:

I have a new e-book available in my Medals of British India series entitled TOKENS OF THE INDIAN MINTS. Previous volumes in this series dealt with Commemorative and Historical medals and the Army of India medal. This time I am doing the tokens of the Indian mints based on my research within both mints and also moving into the digital world and trying an e-book.
