Catalogue of Indo-Portuguese Coins of the Portuguese Numismatic Museum, by Professor Damião Peres, is one of the most important reference works dedicated to the study of Portuguese colonial coinage in the East.

Published by the Portuguese Mint between 1963 and 1975, the work was originally issued in four separate volumes covering the coinage of the Portuguese State of India from the early sixteenth century to the twentieth century.

Each volume presents a systematic catalogue and detailed descriptions of the coins, including historical context, typological classification, and references to the monetary circulation within the Portuguese territories in India.

The present set brings together the four original volumes bound into two books, each containing two of the original tomes.

Both books are presented in luxury bindings, forming a complete and highly desirable bibliographic set for collectors and researchers interested in Indo-Portuguese numismatics.
