Abstract: The coinage of Medieval Mewar has drawn consistent attention from numismatists and regional historians, yet the overall direction and development of this scholarship has not been critically reviewed in a consolidated manner. This review paper examines the major trends in historical research on Mewar’s coinage between the ninth and sixteenth centuries and evaluates how interpretations, methods and priorities have changed over time. It surveys key strands of writing such as early cataloguing efforts, typological and legend-based classifications, symbol and authority readings, and attempts to relate coinage with political structure and regional economy. The purpose is not to restudy coin types or produce a catalogue, but to map the intellectual landscape of existing research. By grouping previous works thematically and methodologically, the paper highlights what has been studied in detail and what remains underexplored. It identifies recurring patterns in approach, points to areas of scholarly disagreement, and draws attention to gaps such as mint organisation, circulation mapping, and integrated source analysis. The study argues that future coinage research on Mewar will benefit from closer interdisciplinary linkage and clearer contextual framing.
