  INDIAN NUMISMATIC MUSEUM OPENS
  

  From the Web India online newspaper, March 17, 2004:
  

  "India's first museum dedicated to numismatics, the study of
  coins, was recently opened in Nasik.
  

  The museum set up by Indian Institute of Research in
  Numismatics, has a collection of ancient coins and also
  showcases badges that were driving licenses issued in 1903
  by southern Nizam ruler's police department. Coin moulds in
  ancient Brahmi script dating back to the seventh century, seals
  of British Governors General, Mughal emperor Akbar's gold
  half-mohur (seal) that depicts Lord God Rama and his consort
  Sita and Mughal ruler Jehangir's zodiac coins are some of the
  rare coins on display. The research centre-cum-museum also
  contains other fascinating objects such as beads, wampum,
  dentalia and other commodities, once used as money. The
  museum also houses photo cardexes of coins numbering
  approximately 150,000.
  

  Amiteshwar Jha, head of the museum, said their library with
  a collection of 1,500 books on coins dating back to 6th
  century B.C, will be useful for researchers."
