Some people collect memories, while others collect history itself. Ajay Garg belongs to the latter. With a passion that spans decades, he has built a collection so vast and rare that it stands as a living archive of India’s cultural and monetary heritage.

A Record-Breaking Collection

Ajay Garg has set a remarkable record by curating one of the most comprehensive collections of coins and stamps in India. His collection includes:

• All Indian commemorative coins from 1964 to 2025
• Every Indian postage stamp issued between 1947 and 2025
• Complete series of Indian coins, from 1 paisa to ₹20
• Coins and currency notes from 200 countries
• A rare compilation of Mahatma Gandhi stamps from 170 countries

This collection is not just about numbers — it’s about preserving history, showcasing artistry, and honoring the journey of India through its currency and postal legacy.
