The E-Sylum: Volume 8, Number 21, May 22, 2005, Article 12 FEATURED WEB SITE This week's featured web site is recommended by Roger deWardt Lane: "With a view to preserve, protect and project Indian Art and Numismatic Treasure in a proper perspective, Thakkar Numismatic and Art Foundation has been established by Mr. Praful K. Thakkar. Here, Thakkar Foundation has made a humble attempt by way of this website to share and spread the knowledge of Indian Coins, Medals, Tokens and all metallic objects of numismatic interest. Valued assistance from collectors and scholars to enrich the site will be highly appreciated." "The founder, Praful K. Thakkar, an Indian Administrative Service Officer, was with the Government of Gujarat, India for more than thirty years. He has worked in various capacities as Collector, Commissioner and Secretary to the Government of Gujarat in various departments. He voluntarily retired in 1995 at the age of 55 years." "He has been an ardent numismatic collector for more than 40 years and has collected Indian coins, medals, tokens and other collectibles like weights and match labels. He has also tried to enhance his ancestral collection of medals of Indian Princely States-British India-Republic India and tokens of Indian banks, treasuries, personalities, religions and advertisements. He has a collection of Passes of Indian Railways, Ports, Princely Palaces and Viceroy Residencies along with badge plates and membership badges." Featured Web Site [The site's scope is very broad, encompassing badges, cash coupons, coins, medals, monograms, passes, seals & dies, tokens and weights. Each category has many subcategories. Most are not yet populated, but the ones which are have nice images and fairly comprehensive cataloging information, such as size, weight, metal and inscription This seems like a site worth revisiting in the future as more meat is added to a fine skeleton. -Editor] Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
