Abstract: *Coins of Jahangir* explores the numismatic legacy of Emperor Jahangir (AD 1569–1627), focusing on his contributions to art, culture, and coinage. The book includes a foreword by Prashant P. Kulkarni, an introduction to Jahangir’s life and achievements, and a detailed analysis of his coinage.
