Agra - The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has confirmed that the 3,000 coins found in a field in Mathura district were indeed of antique value.
The ASI chief here, Dayalan, said this was the biggest such find in the Agra circle and that the coins found in two copper vessels were of different periods between the 7th and 10th centuries.
The coins need to be cleaned to decipher the script. We have decided to carry out further excavations in the area hoping to find some more valuable pieces of history, Dayalan told IANS.
He said the coins would be kept in the Mathura museum, according to an arrangement discussed with the Mathura district magistrate.
ASI sources said coin experts in Lucknow would soon examine the coins, which seem to be made of silver and alloy.
