Book excerpt: This paper embodies my keynote address to the seminar on 'Pañchāla and Other Local Coins and Seals: Revisiting and Updating the Numismatic Source of History', organized by the Pañchāla Museum of the MJP Rohilkhand University, Bareilly, a few years back. In this paper, after making a brief survey of Pañchāla coinage, I have dwelt on certain aspects of Pañchāla numismatics. At the end of the paper, I have dealt with a Buddhist seal from Sankissa, mainly to show how seals, too, may be used as a source of history. The proceedings of the Seminar were never published. I have, therefore, decided to publish that Keynote Address in the form of WebGuruCool Indological Studies 7. I acknowledge, with a profound sense of gratitude, the inspiration I always receive from my Guru, Professor K K Thaplyal, and the warm support I always receive from my family -Wife Dr Nidhi Srivastava, daughters Pratichi and Purvi, son-in-law Kumar Aishvarya, and my extended family of students. 12 June 2024.
