Not all things precious are gold. Some are engraved with brass, some printed with forgotten dates, and some tucked away in velvet-lined boxes as stories waiting to be told. We at Sikkaji sell medals and tokens that have preserved conversations between the past and the present. From the Maharashtra Rajya Sthapana Mahotsava token, celebrating state pride, to a Sri Mata Vaishno Devi Temple Token collected as a symbol of divine blessings, each piece in our collection tells its own story. Loud enough to intrigue. Subtle enough to stay classic.
So what is a token, really? Somewhere between memento and currency is this little thing that says so much about banks, movements, places, and people. Unlike common coins, tokens were never meant to be spent out in the open. They were made to memorialize moments. Or to be a promise, a favor, a celebration, or a memory.
From the functionally and creatively designed India Post and Telegram Token to the Bank of Baroda Token, tokens remind us that meaning can be minted. Sometimes given at the opening of a bank, during festivals, on pilgrimage, or at celebrations, they carry a subtle authority, a physical memory that someone cared enough to create. In a world where we're creating everything virtually, these tokens commemorating different timelines will not be erased. And maybe that's why collectors love to have them included in their collection.
If tokens are mementos of the everyday, medals are the mementos of honor. And honor doesn’t fade easily. A Great War For Civilisation Medal doesn’t just commemorate history, it is history. Medals aren’t just for military victory or governmental ceremonies. Today, they’re fragments of recognition that found their way to collectors who appreciate time, detail, and legacy.
From heavy bronzed pieces to minimalist modern designs, medals come engraved, cast, enameled, and sometimes they are ribboned. But in the end, they are physician and historical proof of human accomplishment and achievements of the nation, be it great or small.
Because they're not mass produced anymore. Most medals and tokens were phased out, melted down, or misplaced. To own one is to have held on to a moment.
Due to the stories. A 1947 rare token is not only metal. It has the emotional value of India's first year of independence.
Because some things do not follow trends. A social media trend will last 48 hours. A 70s Central Bank of India token? That is forever.
Because it's personal. Bank coins from a bank your grandfather used to work for, or a medal with a connection to your hometown, these definitely make a special place in your heart and so it should make in your collection as collection becomes connection.
We’re not exaggerating when we say each of these is personally selected and is sold by verified sellers. Here's what makes the Sikkaji collection worth your attention:

Not everything that matters comes with a barcode or an app. Some come in etched brass. Others in silk-lined cases. But all of them, the Bank Tokens, Medals, Temple Tokens, or Rare Civilisation Medals are reminders that our stories are better when held. And if you’re looking to hold onto something real and collect real medals and tokens, Sikkaji’s token and medal collection is exactly where to start.
