Mintage World, the world's first online museum dedicated to coins, stamps, and banknotes, has launched a coffee table book titled 'Stamps, Coins, and Banknotes Issued During the Premiership of Shri Narendra Modi'. The 200-page volume chronicles India's transformational journey under Prime Minister Narendra Modi by showcasing commemorative stamps, coins, and currency notes issued by government authorities.
Visual Chronicle of National Initiatives
The book serves as a visual record of landmark campaigns such as Atmanirbhar Bharat, Make in India, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Digital India, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Startup India, Jan Dhan Yojana, International Day of Yoga, Women Empowerment, and Viksit Bharat. These are depicted through stamps, coins, and currency notes issued by the Indian Postal and Mint Departments. Curated and published by Mintage World, the book is available on Amazon, Flipkart, other e-commerce platforms, and bookstores, as well as on www.mintageworld.com.
Detailed Compilation in Chronological Order
The compilation documents the historical importance of key issues in chronological order. Each coin, stamp, and currency note captures the essence of Prime Minister Modi's vision and India's journey toward development. The book offers a detailed record of stamps, coins, and notes released during Modi's first term, visually and symbolically representing the mission of New India, including women-led development, tribal empowerment, and India's rising global stature.
Diverse Range of Collectibles
The stamps featured come in various sizes, shapes, and colors, depicting individual projects with pictorial representations. Coins minted in Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Noida showcase various schemes and are available in both circulation and commemorative series across multiple denominations. Bank notes are produced at multiple printing facilities across India, spanning various denominations. A second part of the book, covering stamps, coins, and notes issued during Modi's second tenure from 2020 to 2024, is nearly ready and planned for launch around his birthday on September 17 this year.
Cultural and Historical Significance
By chronicling his era through stamps, coins, and currency notes, the book captures a living history of transformation where governance meets culture and policy finds expression through symbols of pride. It contributes to the preservation of collectible knowledge and the larger narrative of India's growth journey under Modi's leadership. Priced affordably at Rs 999, the book functions as a means of transaction and as a visual representation of the nation's cultural legacy and Modi's global influence. It is a valuable addition for both hobbyists and historians.
CEO's Vision and Tribute
The novel idea is of Sushilkumar Agrawal, a first-generation entrepreneur and CEO of Mintage World. Agrawal stated, 'I am deeply inspired by the remarkable transformation India has undergone under the pioneering guidance of Modi ji. This Book is just my humble yet heartfelt tribute to him. In my own small way, I just wanted to create an awareness of all the beautiful compilations of legal and commemorative tenders that were issued on his various projects. I don't think there is any other Book or periodical that captures Modiji's various drives in this format and so extensively. The idea is to extend this book to all the Modi ji lovers and followers from all over the world as we collectively wish him continued success in his efforts to inspire curiosity, learning and national pride.'
