Step into a world where power, portraiture and precious metals collide. Royal Impressions: Women in Coinage uncovers the captivating stories of queens, empresses and trailblazing women whose faces, and legacies were struck into currency across eras and empires.
This special Show & Tell will be facilitated by the Sarmaya team at Sarmaya Arts Foundation, presented in tandem with our landmark new exhibition Odyssey of the Rupee: From India to the World.
Marking 75 years of the Indian Rupee, Odyssey of the Rupee is Sarmaya’s most ambitious exhibition yet. Curated by Dr. Shailendra Bhandare of the Ashmolean Museum, University of Oxford, with Sarmaya Arts Foundation, the showcase spans centuries of currency—from ancient punch-marked coins to the first coin minted in Independent India. It also traces the fascinating global journeys of the rupee, featuring rare and beautiful coins and notes from regions as far-reaching as Mozambique, Java and Saudi Arabia.
Meeting Point: Sarmaya Arts Foundation, 2nd floor, 276, Lawrence & Mayo Commercial Premises Society Ltd., Dr D.N. Road, Fort, Mumbai 400001.
