Museum of Indian Paper Money is Open for General Public Now!

The long-awaited moment has finally arrived, marking a historic milestone for Indian numismatics. The highly anticipated Indian Paper Money Museum—officially known as Rezwan Razack’s Museum of Indian Paper Money—celebrated its grand and magnificent inauguration on February 15, 2020. 

Just two days later, on February 17, 2020, the museum opened its doors to the general public, inviting enthusiasts, researchers, collectors, and curious visitors to immerse themselves in the extraordinary world of India’s paper currency heritage.

While India is home to several numismatic museums, this museum stands in a class of its own. Conceptualized and meticulously curated by renowned numismatist and collector Rezwan Razack, co-founder of the Prestige Group, the museum showcases what is widely regarded as the finest and most exhaustive private collection of Indian paper money ever assembled. A dedicated and passionate team has worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life, resulting in a museum experience that many consider the best private numismatic museum in India.

Visitors can witness an unparalleled display featuring some of the rarest, earliest, and most historically significant Indian banknotes—ranging from Presidency Bank issues, British India notes, early Reserve Bank of India notes, princely state issues, and unique printing varieties, to error notes, specimen issues, and remarkable one-of-a-kind pieces. The museum offers not just visual delight but also deep historical insight, tracing the evolution of India’s paper currency from its origins to the modern era.

Whether you are a seasoned collector or simply curious about India’s monetary history, this museum promises an enriching, immersive, and unforgettable experience. Come, visit, explore, and enjoy the visual spectacle of Mr. Razack’s finest assemblage of Indian banknotes, carefully curated to educate, inspire, and celebrate India’s rich numismatic legacy.
