searches’ allows searching by mint, although the mint of issue of some coins
is not certainly known, so this method will not provide access to all coins

be expanded over time. Latest Changes include: Update to Marathas, especially Saharanpur and Saugar; updates to Portuguese India; and development of a catalogue for Indo-Scythians just started.
