As I visited Prince Wales Mueseum since it was part of my assignment, 1st time I saw the varieties of coins from ancient Indian coins to new era. No doubt that the people in that era were advanced enough to create such designs and carved it in not only metals but also stones. In that era every state had their own currency. Not only state but also every King made his coins for his people to use those coins in his Kingdom. That was great to see.

Let's start with Mughal coins. The richness of it proves the royalty of the King and his Kingdom. These letters were carved on coins (each coin are carved seperately) which is spectacular to see.
Now comes the coins from the era of Chandragupta Maurya's reign. These coins look even more attractive as every coin has a picture which is indicating something.The coins are still as it is there in museum and the shine of it is still fresh.

So here comes coins from Shivaji's era some of them were carved in copper,some in gold and some in stones. Every coin has it own value. Shivaji was emporer of Maharashtra and entire Maratha kingdom.

And my favorite coins! The story behind this coins is adorable. These coins were introduced by Muhammad Tughlaq. Because of poverty in his reign he introduced copper coins to his people so they can effort goods without gold or silver coins. Tughlaq's coins didn't work that long but his idea created the history.
And finally the modern Indian coins! These coins are worked after studying entire constitution,rules and culture of our country. The national emblem and and other symbols indicated our culture and a message of modern India. These coins share one nation not a particular region that is the sign of unity and Independence of India.
After doing research on each and every coin I got more interest in learning not only coins but also other topics in the museum.It wass a great experience for me to be part of this study and talking about it. I may come up with one more new topic to discuss about it.
