This volume organised in two parts collects papers presented at Numismatic Workshop on the 'Origin and Evolution of Coins" in part one, and at the International Seminar on the "Circulation of Foreign Coins in Sri Lanka and Ancient Sea Routes in the Indian Ocean" organised by the Sri Lanka Society for Numismatic Studies and the French Mission of Archaeological Department of Sri Lanka, in Colombo in September 1994, in part two. Papers in this collection are rich in content and diversity and cover a wide range of field from the origin of Chinese and Greek coins to modern bank notes, Islamic coins and coins for presentation and display in early modern Europe and Roman, Chinese, Indian and Islamic coins circulating in Sri Lanka and several other countries of the Indian Ocean. Of special interest are the papers on the early European coins and paper money minted/printed in Europe for circulation in Sri Lanka. Contributions in both parts provide a broad vision of as well as the latest developments in current research in the field and fill gaps in the extant literature on the subject.
