OLD COINS CHAKRA


OLD COINS CHAKRA

Thanks to lockdown due to corona 19.  It gives enough time to think and act on creations.
As per my earlier plan in utilising the lock down days, I had cleaned and rearranged the beauros.  During that time I got some old coins which I had collected during my school and college days. These were from the "Travancore" era to the present era.   From "one fanam"  to the present "ten rupees". All these are cleaned well. For the new generation,these are treasure of knowledge.
These were segragated on the chronological order and increasing value basis.(minor changes too done).
Spiral (chakra) design was chosen from many designs.  One fanam -year 1116,probably Malayalam year, is positioned in the center. The whole chakra was put inside a frame. This chakra contains "kasu"," chakram","ana","paise", "rupa","rupee"-all are values at those periods. One rupee, two rupee, five rupee coins size and  metal combination are changing over the years.
Have a look .
