Summary, etc. Numismatics as a science and coin collection as a hobby has become very popular during the past two centuries. The study of ancient coins contributed a great deal to the Indian history helping in the decipherment of our ancient Brahmi and Kharosthi scripts and bringing to light the names of many unknown ancient kings. The study of ancient coins reveals many aspects of our past and it is true that every coin has a story to tell and some history to reveal. Though Telangana now happens to be the youngest and 29th state in India, it had been a distinct entity from ancient times. First major family to rule this region was Asmaka janapada and it was succeeded successively by Nanda and Maurya dynasties. Most illustrious dynasty to rule this region next was Satavahana and their rule commenced in the later part of first century B.C. Satavahana was the first dynasty from Dakshinapath or Deccan that ruled north of Vindhyas. During their long rule Satavahanas provided peace and prosperity through trade with Rome etc. After the fall of Satavahana Empire many dynasties ruled this region. Author made a study of the coins from Telangana and these articles were published in different journals and these are compiled in this book.
