黃金多達·霍納（Gold Dodda Honnu）或“雙寶寶”硬幣，賈漢吉爾（Jahangir）的十二生肖硬幣和英屬印度1862年的一托拉硬幣

這是展覽的第17版。早些時候，我們曾經有為期三天的展覽，但是現在我們決定在一個月的每個星期日舉行一日展覽。

A collection of rare coins, including Gold Dodda Honnu or 'Double Pagoda' coin, Jahangir's zodiac coin and British India's 1862 one-tola coin will be displayed at National Numismatics Exhibition on Sunday at Bangalore Gate Hotel.

包括Gold Dodda Honnu或“ Double Pagoda”硬幣，Jahangir的黃道十二二十二枚硬幣和英屬印度1862年的1862年單托拉硬幣在內的一系列稀有硬幣，將於週日在班加羅爾門家的National Numismatics展覽中展出。

This is the 17th edition of the exhibition. Earlier, we used to have three-day exhibitions, but now we have decided to have a one-day exhibition on every last Sunday of the month. This will be the first in that series, said Rajendar Maru, President of Karnataka Numismatic Society.

這是展覽的第17版。早些時候，我們曾經有為期三天的展覽，但是現在我們決定在一個月的每個星期日舉行一日展覽。卡納塔克邦錢幣社會主席拉金達·馬魯（Rajendar Maru）說，這將是該系列中的第一個。

According to him, the numismatic society has about 1,400 members. And the very first National Numismatics Exhibition organised by it was held on May 6-9, 2011.

據他說，錢幣社會約有1,400名成員。這是2011年5月6日至9日舉行的首次由IT舉辦的民族幣種展覽。

Bengaluru has the most coin collectors in Karnataka and Mangaluru, most stamp collectors, added Maru.

班加羅爾（Bengaluru）在卡納塔克邦（Karnataka）和大多數郵票收藏家Mangaluru擁有最多的硬幣收藏家。

Maru also said the society decided to increase the frequency of the exhibition to inculcate the love for philately and numismatics among the younger generation.

馬魯還說，該協會決定增加展覽的頻率，以灌輸年輕一代中對郵政和錢幣學的熱愛。

These days, the world revolves around smartphones. In my time, people were curious about the story behind the coins or stamps, and this gradually made us into collectors. But now, no one is even looking up from their phones, said Maru, who got into coin collecting thanks to his father's obsession with it.

如今，世界圍繞智能手機旋轉。在我時代，人們對​​硬幣或郵票背後的故事感到好奇，這逐漸使我們成為收藏家。馬魯說，現在，現在沒有人從手機上抬起頭來。

My son too is a collector. We both love it so much that we have also made it our livelihood, added Maru who runs Marudhar Arts, a numismatic auction house, with his son.

我兒子也是一個收藏家。我們倆都非常喜歡它，以至於我們也將其謀生化，他和兒子一起經營著錢幣拍賣行Marudhar Arts。

The exhibition is not only a gathering of like-minded individuals dealing with rare and historic Indian coins, vintage currency notes, and stamps, but is also an attempt aimed at educating the public and youth about how coins put our country's history and heritage into context.

該展覽不僅是志趣相投的人，他們與稀有和歷史悠久的印度硬幣，老式的貨幣筆記和郵票進行打交道，而且還是旨在教育公眾和青年關於硬幣如何將我們國家的歷史和遺產置於上下文中的嘗試。

For instance, let's take the Gold Dodda Honna coin issued during the reign of Vijayanagara Emperor Krishnadevaraya (1509-1530 AD). The meticulously detailed image of Lord Venkateshwara of Tirupati in it reflects the religious fervour of that time, said Maru.

例如，讓我們以維賈亞納加拉皇帝克里希納德瓦拉亞（Krishnadevaraya）統治期間發行的金色多達·霍納納（Gold Dodda Honna）（1509-1530）。馬魯說，蒂魯帕蒂的文卡特斯·瓦拉勳爵精心詳細的形象反映了當時的宗教熱情。

He explains that the arch or torana carved in the coin features exquisite elements like seated lions at the base, Makara-shaped keystones, and a Keertimukha at the top.

他解釋說，在硬幣中雕刻的拱門或託拉納（Torana）具有精美的元素，例如座位的獅子，馬卡拉（Makara）形的鑰匙石和頂部的keertimukha。

These are often associated with temple architecture of the time, added Maru.

馬魯補充說，這些通常與當時的寺廟建築有關。

And when one puts the context of time -- Gold Dodda Honnu was issued in 1516 CE, in celebration of Krishnadevaraya's military victories over the Kondavidu and Gajapati dynasties -- one can understand why these gold coins stand out, said Maru.

馬魯說，當一個人付出時間的背景時 - 為了慶祝克里希納德瓦拉亞（Krishnadevaraya）對Kondavidu和Gajapati王朝的軍事勝利，Gold Dodda Honnu於公元1516年發行。

The coins were specially commissioned for 'Kanakabhishekam' -- a grand "Shower of Gold" ceremony -- performed at the Tirumala Venkateshwara Temple in Tirupati. It is believed that the king commissioned 30,000 coins at that time. This also tells you that these coins were more than instruments of commerce, they portray the ideology of that time, said Maru.

這些硬幣是專門為“ Kanakabhishekam”（一個盛大的“黃金淋浴”儀式）委託的，在Tirumala Venkateshwara廟演出。據信，國王當時委託了30,000枚硬幣。馬魯說，這也告訴您，這些硬幣不僅僅是商業工具，它們描繪了當時的意識形態。

Maru said they will be nudging the younger generation towards numismatics/philately by offering 2,000 school students collectible packs of coins and stamps for free.

馬魯說，他們將通過免費提供2,000名學校學生收藏的硬幣和郵票，將年輕一代推向國稅學/郵票。

Hopefully, just as it happened to me, they will also get sucked into this hobby, added Maru.

希望，就像發生在我身上一樣，他們也會被這種愛好所吸引。

The day will also include sessions on coin grading and antique valuations, he added.

他補充說，這一天還將包括有關硬幣分級和古董估值的會議。
