Mumbai Coin Society Fair

I had gone to the Mumbai Coin Society Fair at Sunderbhai Hall, Churchgate on 9th November.

It was a very educating and immensly pleasurable experiance!

By God i wasnt aware that some rare coins can fetch lakhs of rupees!

Also on display and sale were stamps both indian and foreign, envelopes, used stamps, old silver articles, indian and foreign coins for sale. Old books, painting, artifacts, photographs of Indian rulers which were quite grand and made the Kings and Queens of Europe look like beggars! :o The ornaments and clothes of our yesteryear rulers were magnifique! :)

But since i went on the last day itself and it was evening, i had to speed up. On top of that my camera battery was down.

Yet i took pictures. So here are a ton of pictures that i took. :)

Special thanx to my friend Khyati who told me about it. :D

Btw the next one's in April. See you there...

And just to note more that 5000 people attended the fair over 3 days! :D
