Hyderabad State struck its own coins

Hyderabad State was a princely state that minted money in its own name, under the Nizams. An old coin coming out of a drawer in Hyderabad is likelier to be one of these than anything else — look for the Charminar, and a Persian legend rather than an English one.

India’s coins are made in Hyderabad

the Hyderabad Mint has been striking coins since 1803. Every coin says which mint made it, and the Hyderabad mark is a five-pointed star under the date, and a split diamond in some years. Look at the space just under the date on any coin in your pocket.

Coins struck here sold for a median of ₹730, across 433 completed sales at 7 independent shops.

The mark on your change is not what makes a coin valuable — circulating money is worth its face value. It matters when a coin is old, a proof, or a mint error, because then the mint is part of what identifies it.

Questions people in Hyderabad ask

What old coins are found in Hyderabad?

Hyderabad State was a princely state that minted money in its own name, under the Nizams. An old coin coming out of a drawer in Hyderabad is likelier to be one of these than anything else — look for the Charminar, and a Persian legend rather than an English one. Median ₹614 across 15 completed sales, recorded at 2 independent shops. Half of them fell between ₹328 and ₹1,680; the full range seen was ₹196 to ₹6,825.

Are old coins worth more in Hyderabad?

No. The coin market is national — buyers bid from across India and the courier does the travelling, so where you live changes the postage and nothing else. Being in Hyderabad makes it likelier that you HAVE a particular coin, not that you get more for it.

Where can I sell old coins in Hyderabad?

Here, or anywhere in India. You list the coin, buyers across the country see it, and it goes by courier. Selling costs no commission, and you never pay a fee to sell — not registration, not customs clearance, not GST, not a refundable deposit. Money comes to you, never from you. Anyone asking you to send money first is running a fraud.
