About Me

Dr. Mahesh A. Kalra: I am the Director of Centre for Numismatic Information & Studies (CENNUMIS) an organization dedicated to research in Indian Numismatics and conducting courses on Indian Numismatics. My personal research spans from the most ancient to the most modern aspect of Numismatics with a definite thrust on learning and dissemination of the knowledge of ancient and medieval scripts seen on the Coins. I enjoy challenging coin series and see them as authentic historic objects which can be used to study the Art, Literature and Economic History of different periods and regions of the known world.
