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:

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.
