More About Coin Museum at Udupi

Did you know that when all digits on the serial number of a currency note are the same (like ‘555555’ or ‘777777’), it is a type of fancy note? Or if there is a pointed star under the year of a coin, it has been manufactured in the Hyderabad mint? Well, it is unlikely that we observe these little things when we handle notes and coins. Learn about all of this and much more at the Corporation Bank Heritage Museum (Coin Museum) in Udupi.

A totally insightful and interesting gallery with close to 3000 coins from as early as 400 BC, the coin museum, located in the temple town of Udupi, is indeed a revelation of sorts. The town that’s just about 420km from Bengaluru is synonymous with the 13th-century Krishna Mutt, a world-renowned temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. Udupi, a bustling town, is also known for being the birthplace of banking institutions like Syndicate Bank and Corporation Bank, apart from being famous for its delectable vegetarian cuisine.

Situated in the heart of the town, the coin museum was once the residence of Haji Abdullah Haji Kasim Saheb Bahadur, the founder and president of Corporation Bank from 1906 to 1929. The heritage building, now housing the museum, is impeccably maintained, so much so that it’s hard to believe it’s almost 120 years old! The museum is maintained by Corporation Bank.
