“Hamare Paas Bhi Ye Sikke Hain”
A Moment That Sparked a Movement
It started with a coin.
In 2023, during a small exhibition at a village school, a student looked down at a rusted old coin and whispered,
“We have these coins aswell!.”
That sentence — simple, nostalgic, powerful — became the spark behind SikkaSafar.
Since that moment, we’ve traveled from schoolyards to screen scrolls, from dusty drawers to digital archives, creating a space where young people can rediscover the coins, scripts, stories, and languages of their ancestors.
SikkaSafar is not just about preservation — it’s about participation. It’s a reminder that our history doesn’t sit behind museum glass. It lives in our homes, our families, and our memories.
