Description – Rezwan Razack’s Museum of Indian Paper Money
The Rezwan Razack’s Museum of Indian Paper Money displays one of the finest collections of Indian Paper Money and related material drawn from the Indian subcontinent.
This collection is outstanding for its diversity and its depth, from Early Notes of the Private and Presidency Banks to the Uniface Notes of Colonial India and Portrait Notes of British monarchs, Queen Victoria, King George V and King George VI. India’s colonial history is evidenced in the notes from French India and Portuguese India. Money from the Princely States of Hyderabad, Jammu and Kashmir and Saurashtra States as well as Cash Coupons and Prisoners of War Coupons are other highlights. In addition, Indian notes used in Burma and Pakistan and rare notes used in the Persian Gulf States and by Haj pilgrims are valuable additions. A sweeping array of current Indian notes are also on view.
With an abiding commitment to educate, inform and entertain the visitor, we examine this universal medium, exhibited here as a source of history, information and national pride. Meticulously put together, an auxiliary collection explains the inspirations and techniques of paper currency and helps one marvel at the fascinating aspects of money through hand-painted Essays, Patterns, Proofs, Trials, Specimen notes and a rare Star of India Medal.
We hope you understand, enjoy and value this Museum of our collective economic heritage, experienced through this unique monetary treasure.
