BELAGAVI, INDIA COIN EXHIBITION

The Rotary Club of Venugram and the Rotaract Club of Venugram, Belagavi, in association with Birla International School, will organize a coin and paper money exhibition on December 28 and 29 at Mahaveer Bhavan in Tilakwadi. The exhibition features a 65-year collection by noted numismatist Arun Kamule from Belagavi. Entry is free for school children.

The exhibition will showcase coins from India dating back to 600 BC, as well as foreign coins. Day one will focus on Indian coins and foreign currencies, while day two will feature commemorative coins, Indian paper money, and other items.

Noted numismatist Arun Kamule highlighted some of the key exhibits, including coins from the Magadh region, punch-marked coins of Gandharva Janapada, coins of the Maurya dynasty, and those from the Shatavahana, Kushan, and Chola periods. Visitors will also find Indian Princely State coins, coins from the British India/East India Company, the Mughal Empire, and more. Additionally, there will be a special display of Indian paper currencies and fancy number notes.

Kamule emphasized the historical significance of the coins: "Since the beginning, coins were introduced by the kings and the governments based on the availability of metal and the value of the metal. Usually, low-cost metal was used in making the coins. I also have some coins made of low-cost sisal and high-valued gold coins. The value of the coin depends on the cost of the metal. One can see centuries-old history through the coins." Vinaykumar Balikai, President of the Rotary Club of Venugram, invited history enthusiasts and numismatists to attend the rare exhibition. "On the first day, the coins of India from 600 BC to the present and foreign coins will be exhibited. On the second day, there will be commemorative coins, Indian paper money, and others," he said.
