The storied history of Hyderabad’s numismatic legacy is now on show at the freshly minted mint museum in the Saifabad area.
The disused mint facility which was abandoned in 1997 after the minting facility was shifted to Cherlapally has been transformed into the museum. “The mint compound is spread over three acres we are using 4000 square feet for the exhibition. We worked with the existing facilities to create this exhibition,” said architect of the Mint Museum Karthik Mourougane who worked on the exhibit.
While many exhibits are from the mint museum in Cherlapally, a few displays have been curated by a team led by Mr. Mourougane. “This coin display shows the obverse side without any intervention. We have added a QR code that gives details about the coins and will show additional history at a future date,” he informed.
