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.
🛠️ Your coin, step by step
Identify it — Know Your Coin AI
Upload a photo (both sides if you have them), drag the crop box over the coin, tap Identify. You'll get the likely ruler, mint, state and an estimated value — plus similar coins from past auctions.
Clean the photo — Background Removal AI + Merge
Remove the background with AI and merge obverse + reverse into one listing-ready image — coin cut-outs, watermark, caption, backgrounds, rotate/skew and framing. Or just clean a single photo to a transparent PNG.
Describe it — Create Description
Build a clean catalogue-style description from simple fields — or pick your coin from the KM catalogue (State → Ruler → Denomination) and let it fill itself. Prints 1.8″ coin-holder labels too.
Catalogue it — Create Catalog
Your private collection register: every coin with photos, metal, mint, weight, legends, KM#, buying price and market value — prefilled from the catalogue in two clicks. Free for every registered collector.
Trace the legends — Coin Tracing AI
Turn a coin photo into a clean numismatic line drawing — AI tracing for Persian calligraphy, punch-marks, portraits and copper coins, plus a full manual editor with lasso, recolor and legend extraction.
Open tracer →Whole tray at once — Tray Splitter
Photograph a full tray of obverses and a tray of reverses — it detects every coin, pairs them in order, and gives you one merged image per coin at full resolution. All in your browser.

🪙 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 → ◎ Trace your coin's calligraphy with the Coin Tracer → 𑀓 Type coin legends with the Kshatrapa Brahmi Keyboard →
⚠️ Please scan one coin at a time — if your photo has several coins, crop the box onto a single coin.
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).
🧹 Background Removal (AI) + Merge
Remove the background from your coin photos with AI — and optionally merge obverse + reverse into one listing-ready image. Photos are processed for the coin only; nothing else is kept.
🖼️ 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.
✂️ 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.
Tip: the description updates live as you type. Category and sub-category are drawn from the CoinSchool catalogue hierarchy.
🖼️ Looking for Create Coin Image (merge, watermark, caption)? It now lives in the Background Removal + Merge tab.
