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.
