    Better than expected! This may be called a coin museum, but it has many other items in display. Most of the currency here are specimens. Good to spent some time with the young ones. There is an entry fee of 90 rupees for adults and 50 for kids. You can also buy few small items from here.

    This is a must visit place when you are in Nashik. It is a good drive, enough parking - ticket is 90 rs / head Good display, how money got developed - it is a nice place to know things which we must. Take out couple of hours. The place is excellent and has lot of natural light coming in the main area. If you are a photographer you are going to absolutely love this place. Try it.

    this is a really interesting museum. I loved how it was structured even just the building. They have a lot of very different exhibit on display, with one rotating exhibit. They have a really detailed knowledge of the history of coins in India, how they came to the country and each reiteration of coins through all the dynasties that India had. It’s a great way to learn about the history of coins and trade. They also had a lot of other interesting exhibit, I love the playing cards exhibit, the corals and stones exhibit as well as some pieces of sculpture that they had to see. This was the first time I had ever seen anything from the Indus Valley civilization in real life! So I do recommend coming here to see much more than coins and you can definitely bring your family as well because there’s a lot to see and learn when you come here. They have a really big space and a museum is pretty well laid out.

    Awesome museum, one of the most important and historical museums of coins which is situated on the way to Trimbakeshwar, by road it is well connected to Nashik and only 19 Km from Nashik, The museum was founded under the Indian Institute of Research in Numismatic Studies in 1980. This campus spread over an area of 505 acres, which is 3 km from Anjenery hills, The museum is the only one of its kind in Asia with a very rich collection of research and well-documented history of the Indian currency system. if you are planning to visit Trimbakeshwar Temple, Must visit with children to these museum they are getting to much historical information. Ticket is Rs.70 for adults, Camera charges is Rs.50. if some one is handicap or aged one or those are not able to walk they have wheel chair for them.

    The collection is quite good in terms of coins and fossils. Love the way the entire building is designed. It's so beautiful and each piece gets to shine in its own zone. Love the way they've displayed all the pieces too. It is a must visit for all history lovers. There's a tree fossil which is over a 100 years old.

    I think they have a fairly good collection of coins, but it could have been better. They have the historical facts in place along with the coins etc. The also have some other artifacts in the museum. You can spend around 45 minutes to explore the collection. Very interesting place for history lovers. Fee: I will update later Ambience: This place has a wonderful ambience and I really enjoyed my time here. Parking: Car parking is easily available. Toilets: Usable I will say.

    The place is worth a visit. Earlier it was only a coin museum but after renovation it has archaeological findings and memento collection. Agate lockets, pendants and puppet pencils are something which one can buy, here. Monument and coin information in the form of playing cards can also be bought here. It is not crowded even on weekends. Of you are a numismatic fan it is the best retreat for you.

    The museum is worth visiting and spending some time in. The display is very systematic, informative and beautiful. The history of Indian currency and coins is described with lots of pictures and objects. Besides there are some displays on other subjects like fossils, stone and metallic weapons from past, musical instruments and a photograph section.

    visited on a sunday, there was no crowd. the tickets are around 100rs. spent around 1.5hrs to complete the tour and read about everything thoroughly. amazing architecture and interior design. nice place to know about coins and rocks and some other general stuff about history. the way they have displayed the coins and fossils helps them shine in their own way. they also have recreated the coin making process in a detailed manner which is really cute and interesting. i especially loved the rocks & crystals collection. there are also some stone and crystal pendants and other trinkets at the museum shop. highly recommended for coin, fossil & history lovers!

    This the original coin museum in Nashik. They added some more ancients things. They have original coin from Mughals period. Entry fees are 70 rs for adults. Not so big, but giving them new looks so more visitors can come.

  • 5/5 Sukumar s. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good and novel museum. History of coins, Barter system, all old money exchanges are nicely displayed. Many coins and its history is well displayed. Different era and dynasty coins are on display. Wondered how shivkalin coins section is missing. All currancy notes are on display. They would have added one section of foreign important currancy. Other than currancy they have sections on history, different pots, and many other sections. Overall good museum.

  • 3/5 Sumit A. 3 years ago on Google
    Full marks to the hard work done here in the making of such nice museum. But still I can't recommend this place to visit, because there is no source of entertainment here neither any food other. And there is hardly anyone who comes here. So please don't plan to come here from long distance. Visit this only if it's on your way of journey.

  • 4/5 Ankit P. 10 months ago on Google
    At a distance of 19 km from Nashik and 3 km from Anjaneri, the Coin Museum, located in the campus of the Indian Institute of Research in Numismatic Studies, is on the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar road. The museum was founded under the Indian Institute of Research in Numismatic Studies in 1980. This campus spread over an area of 505 acres of land is surrounded by the picturesque Anjaneri hills. The museum is the only one of its kind in Asia with a very rich collection of research and well-documented history of the Indian currency system. The museum was established to impart a general idea about Indian coins to the common people. The displays in the museums comprise of coins, moulds, dyes, replicas, photographs, numismatic material, along with bronze, terracotta's, copper-hoard objects, paintings and some historical artifacts. These exhibits give a vast idea of the various currency systems that existed in India from centuries. The museum also exhibits dioramas of depicting coin minting and coin manufacturing techniques. The museum also preserved one lack cardexes for easy reference and organizes workshops, on a regular basis, with the aim of promoting coin collecting in India. Timings: 9.30 AM -1 PM and 2 PM - 5.30 PM on all days except Sundays and on public holidays. What can be improved:- 1. Museum is rather small, miscellaneous other things have been added to make up but still small. 2. This seems to be a private museum rather than a govt one. 3. A lot can be added as space is huge.

  • 5/5 Ankita M. 1 year ago on Google
    This museum is really interesting. I love the structure of the building, they have a lot of things other than coins. This place is under-rated in Nashik. The ticket cost is around ₹80 but the place is maintained so well. This place is hardly distance from Nashik Flower Park.  Also a section of the museum displays objects excavated of stone age and from various civilisations. This place is good for young minds who want to explore and understand the history of coins and money.  Museum is for history lovers to gain knowledge of Indian currency in ancient history. All the facts are described in detail which helps us to understand the importance of our business in the history of our country. Also many other historical information like culture, civilizations like sindhu ghati/harappa etc. is given here. The restroom and parking is available. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

    They have done an amazing work for restoring all the Coins from ancient time to current currency. The history of coins and other Earth and civilization was shown beautifully. Only the artist behind writing english sentences was very poor as you can see in the attached Image. Also I felt entry charges are quite high and they have a very high scope of doing amazing sight as the Structure built to showcase this concept is beautiful.

    A mesmerizing place, a must must must visit if you come to nashik or if you are from Nashik and haven't yet visited it! It will take you back to the time and keep you wondering how beautiful the time was and how amazing the people were, who worked in such an amazing creation. Pure form of art and creativity...will make you think how real art and history used to work. The overall atmosphere here is soothing.

    This is a really underrated place in nashik... Just In front of grape county. The ticket here costs 80₹ for a person but the place is well maintained and clean... The coins and artifacts placed here are priceless. The architecture of this place is really great and you can chill here for a while. This place makes Nashik an all inclusive place for a tourist destination...

  • 5/5 Nailesh K. 2 years ago on Google
    Just awesome. A museum of great standards. So many collections of coins that a numismatist would spend a whole day or more looking at these coins. Very clean and organized way of presenting the collections. Also a section of museum displays object excavated of stone age and from various civilisations. The museum is still being upgraded and it seems over time it will become more popular. Entry fees is Rs. 70. Definitely worth visit.

  • 3/5 Deepak K. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Manish H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is must see museum if you are love history, coins etc. It has many artefacts. You require atleast couple of hours to see the complete museum. It's well maintained museum with a wheelchair accessibility. They have only two seats at reception to sit for visitors. Though there are few granite benches available outside the building in the garden. It's on the way while you travel from Nashik to Trimbakeshwar.

    On way to Trimbakeshwar. If u r interested in knowledge about history then you can visit. Low footfall due to Covid has very few visitors. Single floor, can take you from 30 minutes to 60 minutes based on how you spend time in a museum. There is info on coins, fossils, stone age tools, Harapa culture, Mughal and British era history. My favorite spot was the turban history of India (Central region)
