FIND VIJAYANAGAR EMPIRE COINS FOR SALE

Just as the Vijayanagar Empire of southern India was a reaction to Islamic invaders, so were its coins. In opposition to the various Islamic sultanates in the central and north parts of the subcontinent, including the huge Delhi Sultanate, Vijayanagar Empire coins stand in stark contrast to the Islamic coins of the era.

Background of Vijayanagar Empire coins

The Vijayanagar Empire was one of the most powerful empires in Indian history, and it was located in southern India. It was founded in 1336 by two brothers, Harihara and Bukka Raya, and it lasted until 1646.

The empire was known for its stunning architecture, including the famous Hampi ruins, which are now a UNESCO World Heritage site. They also had a strong military and were able to repel attacks from the neighboring sultanates.

One of the most interesting things about the Vijayanagar Empire is that it was a Hindu empire, which is different from many of the other empires in India at the time that were Muslim. The empire was a center of Hindu culture and learning, and it was known for its literature, music, and art.

The Vijayanagar Empire was also an important trading center, and it had a thriving economy. They traded with many countries, including China and Persia, and they were particularly known for their cotton and silk textiles.
