It is more or less a forgotten part in the development process of the then small Himalayan kingdom, Sikkim. An introduction to the coinage system in Sikkim ceased the way it got started. A study in the coinage system of Sikkim puts light on the time period of the socio-economic and political history of the then small state. The coins of Sikkim ended the way it appeared, it came from nowhere and finally it got lost out in the darkness. A handful of people around Sikkim and in the districts of Darjeeling now have these rare items in their collections. The coin of Sikkim is much sought after by numismatists interested in countries that are no more in existence today.
