Watch List notes:

Mitchiner, Michael, Indian Tokens: Popular Religious & Secular Art from the Ancient Period to the Present Day, London, 1998, 240 pages, 1,080 pieces catalogued and illustrated with valuations. A major feature of this study is the evolution of popular religious and secular art through the past two millennia. Many facets of popular religious expression illustrated on tokens find no parallels in such better known media as coins, sculptures and statues. The various classes of tokens considered here provide one of the richest media illustrating popular iconography and the evolution of religious concepts. A good start at cataloging Indian tokens.
