Reference catalogue & price guide — from ancient coins to modern currency, 786 & fancy numbers, and India Post stamps

Welcome to CoinSchool 👋

India's free reference for coins, banknotes & stamps — identify a coin, check what it sold for, browse catalogues, and follow every auction & exhibition. Here's how to use each part.

🪙

Identify a coin — Know Your Coin

Take or upload a photo (both sides if you have them). Drag the crop box over the coin, then tap Identify. You'll get the likely ruler, mint, princely state and an estimated value — plus similar coins from past auctions. Wrong result? Use the "Results incorrect?" box to send the correct answer.

📜

What did it sell for? — Auction Archives

Search 4,50,000+ real auction lots by ruler, denomination, metal or keyword (e.g. "Gwalior rupee") and filter by house, price or date. Every result shows the realised price. Free — no login.

📚

🪙 Know Your Coin

Learn to identify, grade and understand coins — guides from our experts

📷 Identify My Coin

Upload a photo of either side, or both — using both the obverse and reverse gives a more accurate result. Our model estimates the ruler and mint, and shows the typical price range from historical auction sales.

🔍 Which mint struck your coin? See the mint-mark guide →

⚠️ Please scan one coin at a time — if your photo has several coins, crop the box onto a single coin.

💡 Have both sides? Add each in its slot for the best accuracy. Crop to just the coin below for a sharper result.

Results are AI estimates from image similarity to past auction lots; the price range is what coins of that ruler/mint have historically sold for, not a valuation of your specific coin (condition & rarity strongly affect value).

✂️ Tray Splitter

Photographed a whole tray at once? Split it into individual coins — obverse paired with reverse — in one step. Everything runs in your browser; your photos are never uploaded.

✍️ Create Professional Description

Build a clean, catalogue-style coin description. Fill in the fields and copy the result.

Example professional coin post created with CoinSchool — Aurangzeb silver rupee with colour-coded description
✨ Example — upload your coin photos below and create a professional post like this: auto-cropped, background removed, colour-coded description, ready to share or print.
📖 Find by catalogue  State → Denomination → KM#
Pick a state or empire (Mughal, British India, a princely state…); for empires narrow by ruler, then denomination, to see the KM#s available.

Tip: the description updates live as you type. Category and sub-category are drawn from the CoinSchool catalogue hierarchy.

🖼️ Create Coin Image

Have two photos (obverse & reverse)? We'll merge them side by side. Already have one combined photo with both sides? Use that directly. Either way you get a captioned, watermarked image.
