Numismatic art pice to be unveiled in Bengaluru

On October 8, 2026, the Museum of Indian Paper Money in Bengaluru will unveil a unique numismatic art piece. This installation will showcase 200 gold-plated 1955 one-pice coins, a small denomination coin that played a significant role in shaping India's monetary history after its independence from British rule. The museum, dedicated to preserving and displaying India's monetary heritage, aims to transform this everyday coin into a striking work of art, symbolizing the nation's rich monetary legacy.

The central composition of the piece features a black and gold frame, with a monogram and decorative motifs adorning the central area, giving it the appearance of a commemorative artwork.
