COINS IN HUMANITIES BLOCK
Today's topIc Is about the coIn collectIon whIch had kept for show In our college HumanItIes Block...
It was an good vIew of the collectIon whIch Ramanarayanan or Ramachandra (forgot the name) sIr who Is 75+ In age, who took over retIrement after achIevIng an partIcular age at MICO
and hIs hobby was to collect coIns whIch he collected from hIs age of 25+ but he wasn't that much Interested at that tIme but after that he was fully Involved In the collectIon of coIns only..
And started to exhIbIt It from past 2-3 years..
Now It was an good opportunIty that thIs collectIon got Into our eyes on VISAGES 2014 In our college HUMANITIES BLOCK. It was an rear and good collectIon whIch was from the year 1947 - tIll now!!!
CoIns whIch was been there In the perIod of Kadamba Dynasty, Wodeyar Dynasty etc.. CoIn consIsts was In Gold, SIlver, Lead, Metal, Steel, Iron and even In Stone. It was an very good experIence talkIng wIth hIm about the hIstory of the coIns. It took one hour to fInIsh whole room whIch was full of coIns arranged In benches. The coIns was In PIctography, whIch was In PARSI Language.. And the desIgns was perfect and It seems around too oldest coIn. And two - three coins was decayed or rotted or rusted as It was too old.
He was explaInIng about the coIns whIch was In perIod of 1947+ as the coIns were used to calculated In paIsa, before that It was 4 paIse = 12pIes, 50 paIse = 8 anas, 192 pIes or 64 paIse = 1 rupee, thIs terms belonged to MuslIm monetary system .. there was Queen ElIzabeth's coIn, and on one sIde there was an collectIon of varIous states coIn.!!!
Another InterestIng matter Is that the desIgn of many coIns Is desIgned In BrazIl but It got eatablIshed In India as a coin for tradIng ie.. BrItIsh East IndIa Company.! PartIcularly one coIn whIch was lord hanuman as desIgn whIch was establIshed In IndIa In later 1950’s but actually It Is designed In BrazIl by East IndIan Company.And even collectIon Notes and Stamps were there
