An important facet of the aesthetic of Islamic kingship for example is evident from the silver coinage of the Bengal Sultanate which combined intricate interdependence of religious expression personal aggrandizement and rule legitimacy. Coins provide insights into political power and authority while archaeological excavations hoards and stupa deposits provide contexts that place coin finds within a larger cultural milieu. The contributors to this volume discuss this tradition from several disciplinary perspectives such as history archaeology economics and numismatic studies.…
