Republic India Coinage: A story in metal

May 10, 2019 /

India’s financial evolution is as intriguing as her glorious past! Starting from the ancient Punch Marked Coins to the current facade of the Ashokan Lion capital (National Emblem), Indian currency has undergone great changes in its designs and metals. But interestingly, the terms Rupiya and Paisa, have survived the changing kings and their titles. They have stuck through the ages and led to the official terminology of the modern Indian Currency. In this blog let’s explore the story of the Republic India Coinage!

Hi, I'm a nature lover, a trekker and an ardent reader from Mumbai, India. After playing Lawyer for a time, I shifted to my passion and love – History! A 9 to 6 job as a Senior Executive: Research, Content Writer and Editor helps me earn by bread and butter which is ultimately spent on travel and food :)

  There are many such facts that will blow of our minds. In fact abhi I’m gearing to write a full fledged blog on India’s monetary transformation from Barter to E-commerce.
  Most of it is ready, just have a move a few commas here n there… 😛

    that’s wonderful and I wait anxiously, do take your time with commas though..misplaced commas could result in economic depression.

Hello teacher, your blogs are interesting and informative to me. I do love reading them especially for the fact that the subjects are quite matured, detailed and written legibly. They are quite positive too. I still remember the post that I read of urs was a travel blog maybe and had subscribed to your blog assuming a travel blogger but changed my perception after reading your latest blogs that your blog contains material way beyond travel. Keep up the good work and spread your knowledge through your informative posts.

Dear Ashwini, This site you maintain is a kind of interesting and I like the blogs that you post. Also, your writing style is never readable, and I can relate myself to the stories. Please, continue to do posting on your blog because all blogs (like life itself) are like a box of chocolate, “never know what you’ll get” (from the famous movie Forrest Gump)….

Knowing a person as a person and knowing the same person as a writer is sometimes a bliss. And I find this bliss in Ashwini's blogs. Her writing is specifically distinct. Her use of words and their expressions somewhere casts a shade of JKR. The tiny hints from her real-life trailing towards the way she fancies her life to be, form a strong subtext for her poems. While her experience and her intelligence is clearly felt while reading her blog. Kudos to you Girl. Keep writing and keep throwing light on many topics for us. Big Hug!

Ashwini, I like reading your blogs. They cover various aspects of life. Especially your posts #writephoto and your post which takes us back to the memory lane. Last one Trekking with kids, refreshed my memories when I started trekking with my elder sister. I did not know what was trekking but as a kid, I used to enjoy those days. Also forgot to mention about your post on #Monday :P. It’s become a part of our life nowadays, we are becoming machines are working around the clock in the race. I wish only we should not lose the essence of living life in this mechanical life. Keep posting stay blessed. Cheers

Your posts are touching various topics every time. From Indian Culture to Heritage to writephotos all are worth reading. Being History nerd you have explained various historical & cultural facts very nicely. They have generated curiosity in IT nerd like me to learn more about our culture and history. Continue with your work. Awaiting for your next post. Best,
