While most coins in history show pictures of kings or emperors, Sikh coins were different, they shared powerful messages about faith, equality, and spiritual values instead of focusing on individual rulers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This richly documented book covers various key phases of Sikh coinage\u2014from the earliest issues under Banda Bahadur and the misl confederacies to the unified currency of Maharaja Ranjit Singh\u2019s empire and beyond, including copper coins and those minted by the Cis-Sutlej states. They serve as enduring emblems of Sikh sovereignty and spiritual values, echoing the community\u2019s resistance to tyranny and its assertion of divine authority. With many pictures and simple explanations, this book is perfect for anyone interested in Sikh history, coin collecting, or how small objects can carry big meanings. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":783,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[16,30],"product_tag":[48],"class_list":["post-165","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all-products","product_cat-books","product_tag-the-coins-of-the-sikhs","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sikhfoundationcanada.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/165","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sikhfoundationcanada.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sikhfoundationcanada.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sikhfoundationcanada.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sikhfoundationcanada.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sikhfoundationcanada.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sikhfoundationcanada.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=165"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sikhfoundationcanada.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=165"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sikhfoundationcanada.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
