There is a general human tendency to do away the old and welcome the new. This is great in certain situations but can snap back bad in certain other situations. Take for example the history and traditions of India. We are moving ahead in such a pace that we are fast forgetting the essence of true India. I believe that we should never forget where we come from and make an effort to stay connected to our roots. By learning about old Indian coins you can do just that almost perfectly. Thousands of emperors and rulers have issued various kinds of Ancient Indian Coins over the years. Each one of them is peculiar and shares a unique story. As a responsible Indian, it is our duty to understand the richness of our past. This will give us an objective outlook towards where we are headed in the future.
Right from ancient times, the Indian subcontinent has been the birthplace for different kinds of coinage. The history of ancient India is broadly classified into sixteen janapadas based on time periods and geographies. I feel extremely lucky for owning an old coin of India that belongs to the Magadha mauryan dynasty. Most collectors are curious of nature. We do not stop at simply collecting old coins of India. We feel satisfied only after we get to the depths of the history behind these Indian old coins. Even medieval India saw a revolution in coinage when Mughal and Maratha emperors issued beautiful coins. Who wouldn’t love to own a beautiful Ancient Indian Coin that was issued by Shahjahan featuring the sun signs? Some of these gold mohurs have been auctioned for impressive amounts at various auctions not only in India, but abroad as well. You can only imagine the kind of demand that old coins of India have throughout the world!
