As many as 694 ancient coins were recovered by the Police on Wednesday from the Pinglish area of Tral in south Kashmir’s Awantipura.
The antique coins are believed to be of significant historical and archaeological value.
The police said the coins were kept in safe custody under the supervision of the SHO Police Station Tral, Inspector Tajamul Islam. Subsequently, coordination was established with the Directorate of Archives, Archaeology & Museums to facilitate scientific handling and preservation in accordance with established archaeological norms.
Preserving the archaeological and cultural heritage of J&K will foster public awareness about Kashmir’s rich historical legacy.
