Dear Group Members

the only living evidence of the Sikh Empire which is readily available
to all those who are interested in Sikh numismatics are the actual
coins.

To ensure that new and existing members are fully up to date with new
varieties of coins, I thought it would be good to periodicaly
highlight some of the existing albums (like the one above) we have in
the groups photo section.

remains open.
