Coin Corner

The young owner,Aditya Jain,says that it all started more than 25 years ago,with his father Rajesh Jain’s keen interest in numismatics. Rajesh Jain,one of the founder members of the Delhi Coin Society and a life member of Numismatics Society of India,has been a regular in various exhibitions in the city,displaying his large collection,that includes error coins. As Aditya took over from his father,he thought of launching the store on the Internet. “There’s hardly any publisher of numismatics books who hasn’t given us a distributorship. Thanks to the Internet we have been able to expand our client base and get at least 50 queries per day —many of these from foreigners and numismatics societies across the world,” he says,while showing his name as the distributor on several books published across the country. Aditya adds that the store specialises on publications on Indian coins — from the ancient to the contemporary.

“In the future,we plan to add reprints and original rare books to our list,” he says. The store’s website also offers services such as valuation of antique coins to individual collectors and amateurs.

Collectors from all over India drop in looking for the latest research work published in the field,claims the owner. The setting seems just right for anyone interested in antique coins,as one flips through books on the subject sitting next to a window that gives a bird’s eye view of the old city.
