About Sikka Safar

SikkaSafar is a digital sanctuary of South Asia’s forgotten heritage, dedicated to rediscovering history through the timeless language of coins. Since its inception in 2023, SikkaSafar has embarked on a journey (“Safar”) to conserve and showcase rare and ancient “Sikka” (coins), each carrying silent yet profound tales of empires, trade routes, spiritual exchanges, and cultural evolution.

From the bustling Mughal bazaars to the maritime coins of ancient ports, every piece in our collection bridges centuries of interconnected civilizations. Our mission is to preserve these artifacts not as static relics but as living storytellers—narratives of artistry, economy, power, and people that shaped the subcontinent.

At SikkaSafar, history is not locked in glass cases; it is digitized, mapped, and brought to life. With high-resolution imagery, detailed descriptions, and in the future an interactive 3D map experience, visitors can trace the migration of currencies, dynasties, and cultures across borders and ages.

Join us in this timeless expedition where every coin is a compass, guiding us through the rich, layered history of South Asia and beyond.

This is more than a numismatic archive—it is a heritage voyage. By documenting, conserving, and sharing these coins and artifacts, SikkaSafar seeks to reconnect present and future generations to their historical continuum, nurturing appreciation for craftsmanship, trade networks, and shared human heritage.
