Welcome to British India Coins webpage by Maj P V Bharat

I have collected numerous coins of India and the World over the years. I never had ready made data and photographs on coins. I just kept on collecting coins, Medals, Stamp Papers, Currency Notes, and Stamps etc. Slowly I developed interest on the British India Coins and I wanted to create a web page for budding collectors, so that they have all the knowledge about the coins. This site is the net product of all my hard work and great support from my family. The site is dedicated to all the people who taught me coin collecting including Coindealers and all the Numismatists. Please post your comments on the Website to pvbharat@gmail.com
