Nanakshahi Coins

Nanakshahi coins are currency tokens used in regions following the Nanakshahi calendar, which is a solar calendar based on Sikh heritage. These coins often feature symbols and designs tied to Sikh culture, history, and the Nanakshahi New Year, introduced in 2003. They serve as both legal tender and cultural artifacts, emphasizing Sikh identity and history, especially in Punjab and among Sikh communities worldwide. The coins may be used for everyday transactions or as commemorative pieces, reflecting the community's pride and historical continuity.
