[QUOTE="Sikh Collector, post: 125298, member: 10769"] Dear Narayanjot Kaur Ji, Thank you for your message below. I am pleased to hear that you collect stamps, I also began collecting stamps (philatelic) at the same time as coins (Numismatic). However the stamps took second place when I began to collect coins of the Sikh Empire. It is a sad fact that one of the concrete evidence of the existence of the Sikh Empire, are the actual coins as they are the seal of the ruling body within a state. Unfortunately for the Sikhs, 90% of the coins are written in the Persian text and therefore the Sikhs are not able to understand them. I do hope one day that any Sikh around the world should be able to recognize a coin of the Sikh Empire when they see one. This will help us to preserve our history which, even today is being melted down for value of silver. I have heard many stories where jewellers have melted Sikh rupees for their high silver content for the purpose of producing jewellery. This is a direct erosion of the history of the Sikh Empire and it is being done right under our nose. Today, Gurprit Singh Ji, I and members within the Sikh Coins Group hope to change the balance a little at a time to open the eyes of Sikhs and non Sikhs on the evidence of the Sikh Empire. I am very grateful that we now have a space within SPN to continue with this work. Regards Parminder / Sikh Collector From: Narayanjot Kaur Ji, Your message is so touching. I am overwhelmed and so honored that you would share those particular thoughts, and even a slice of your life, with me. I really am in continual awe when you post.
