About

Numismatics is a merit-based hobby accessible to enthusiasts worldwide. It involves the collection and study of artistic pieces that offer insights into engravings, empires, history, sociology, and metallurgy. Each coin narrates a unique story, and every story imparts valuable lessons.

Known as the "Hobby of Kings," numismatics has historical roots, with evidence suggesting that rulers like Caesar Augustus engaged in collecting coins and currency from foreign lands.

In the modern era, the study of coin collecting has evolved with advancements in communication and the Internet. Local coin clubs and specialized interest societies have become prevalent globally, fostering a vibrant community of collectors.

He's also actively participating in various numismatic meets and exhibitions, showcasing a selection of his collections at these events, which has sparked increased enthusiasm for continued participation in upcoming events.

As mentioned earlier, the primary purpose of creating this blog is to disseminate the latest news, updates on Indian numismatics, and encourage the hobby to safeguard coins for future generations.
