This is a professional looking web site
with objectives very similar to this web site (Coins of British
India). The British India section is full of detailed photos and line drawings illustrating the various coin types and variations. I really appreciate
the comprehensive and detailed information. The site has an extensive coverage of the coins of India, going far beyond the British colonial era. Congratulations to Dr.
B. Jinadatha, professor at J J M medical college in Davangere,
Karnataka, INDIA, on the creation of this fabulous web site.india-coins.com also incorporates a fantastic new resource for collections
of the coins of India, namely the India
Coins Discussion Forum. |
| The Coins of British India 1862-1947 |
| |
This link takes you to this current
web site. The site use to focus narrowly on the copper and silver
coins of India in the period 1862-1901. It is currently being
expanded to cover the complete British India coinage through 1947.
There is a good representation of the 1862 "dot" Rupees,
showing some of the variations. There are also checklists of the
coins of Victoria. These pages should be useful for eBay and other
auction buyers/sellers to accurately identify the coins (accurate
identification appears to be a real problem on such auctions).
Collectors can print out the checklists and record the coins they
have for handy reference at coin shows and retail shops. Auction
buyers can refer sellers to specific pages to help them make more
precise identification. An attempt has been made to provide good
quality close-up photos of the main coin features. |

is a real resource for collectors! The old page at http://www215.pair.com/sacoins/

Subtitled, "Indian Coins from Ancient to Modern Times, The Virtual Museum of Indian Coins".
Webmaster Pankaj Tandon has done a fine job of creating an interesting and useful survey of Indian coins through the centuries with some good quality photos. Only a few coins from British India are shown but there are many interesting coins on display from the rich and lengthy history of India coinage along with very interesting descriptive text. |

This site provides photos and information
on the coins of India (there doesn't seem to be a section for
British India, but maybe it will be added later). It also covers
non-coin items such as weights, seals & dies, tokens and medals
and explains their significance. |

This is a fascinating web site presented by the
famous catalog publishers Krause Publications. A representative
characterized the site as folows: "NumisMaster opens Krause
Publications’ massive coin and paper money database to a worldwide
online audience and allows hobbyists to select and sort the information
to fit their individual collecting interests. This database comprises
the content for every book Krause Publications has published in
the Standard Catalog line of price guides for more than 50 years."
It also apparently provides tools for organizing your collecting
records, such as your inventory and want list. I haven't personally
used these features yet but the name Krause surely makes this
a web site worth investigating. |
