Coin Museum (Shanti-Krishna Museum of Money and History)
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Shanti-Krishna Museum for coins; they come for the weight of history held right in their hands. Tucked away on the serene INHCRF campus near Nashik, this is a place where you can journey from ancient punch-marked silver pieces to the intricate Mughal rupees, all in one quiet afternoon. It’s a surprisingly intimate collection that feels more like a series of personal treasures than a formal exhibition. You leave with a new appreciation for the small, metallic tokens that have shaped empires and everyday life for millennia.
Collection Highlights
The narrative of Indian coinage is the star, tracing evolution from the earliest crude lumps to the sophisticated gold 'mohurs' of the Mughals. But your eye will be caught by unexpected neighbors: ancient marine fossils that predate civilization, archaeological terracotta finds, and a delicate set of miniature paintings that add a splash of color and narrative.
Visitor Information
Finding it is part of the adventure—look for the INHCRF Campus opposite the Grape County Resort on Trambakeshwar Road. It's a peaceful detour from Nashik's more crowded temple sites, perfect for a contemplative few hours.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a clean, modern institutional building that prioritizes function over grandeur, allowing the artifacts within to command all your attention.
