I have been a British India coins collector since 1970. I also collect British India bank notes and stamps. In addition I collect Republic of India coins, bank notes and stamps. From RBI governor S. Venkataramanan up to Y. V. Reddy I have collected all notes in serial no 888888. Another favorite hobby of mine has been gardening with nearly 800 different species of Cactus plants in > 2500 pots in my collection.
I am Dr. Jinadatha B working as a professor in J J M medical college Davangere, Karnataka, INDIA. My elder son Chetan is working as a physician at Scott and White hospital in Temple, Texas, USA and my younger son Avinash is working as a Paediatrician in Alfred Edward Royal Infirmary, Wigan, England. Both of them are deeply interested in these hobbies. My wife Usha, my sons & my daughter in law Ushma have actively helped me in building this collection and in exhibiting them.

a) There is a need for a gold standard for all the collectors as there
are different classifications suggested by various authors. This
website can be used to achieve this goal.
b) There are many coins, which are listed in books that may not
be existing at all ex: 1 anna 1936 Calcutta mint, 1/12 anna 1881
and 1896.
c) A minor variation is called as a new variety by few authors
which may not merit the status, never the less this website can
be used to share the idea.
d) I wish this website will help coin collectors to identify and arrange
their coins properly.
e) All books list the coins denomination & year wise. If you are
exhibiting the coins this method of arrangement looks
monotonous. Hence I have arranged all coins, from 1/12 anna to
gold mohur coins of a given year on one board as shown in the
picture.
f) Checklist of all coins from 1862-1947 is available on this site
along with obverse, reverse classifications and mintmarks with
illustrations and photographs.
