Royal Heritage
Splendour of Princely States
Autonomous Coinage of Nizams, Scindias, Gaekwads & Maharajas
A colourful voyage through India's sovereign kingdoms: Osmania Charminar rupees, Gwalior Sun-faced paisas, Travancore conch silver chuckrams, and Kutch silver Koris.
Curator's Field Note:“Each princely state retained its own sovereign right of mintage, resulting in unparalleled diversity of scripts, heraldry, and regional iconography.”
