History Vs Money behind Collecting Antique Coins of India
ď‚— Collecting and studying about antique coins of India is
a good way to learn about Indian culture and traditions. But are the modern collectors really keen about the historical significance behind coins? The answer to this question is very debatable indeed. Let’s find out!
ď‚— Investors and big businessmen have started collecting
antique coins of India just for the sake of money. None of these dealers or investors really care about the historical stories behind them. In recent times the value for Indian coins has shot up even in international markets.
ď‚— This has made the hobby of coin collection into a
lucrative business idea. Who wouldn’t want to do it when old Indian coins you buy today can fetch you double, or in some cases even triple the amount in just a few years? But is money everything in life?
ď‚— There was a time when collectors of antique Indian
coins used to take some time out and research about them. They used to study the minute inscriptions and understand the historical aspects behind a coin in their collection. But that is not really the case, as of now.
ď‚— If you really value our culture and rich history, you
should be trying your best to revive them. Youngsters need to be encouraged to indulge in collecting antique coins of India so that they can stay closer to our past. This will inspire and transpire the next generation to pass on the baton of our rich traditional heritage!
