Winny rules the world

This little numismatis­t has over 1,500 coins from of all the continents

-

The saying “The crop is visible in the sprout” very well suits Winny, a 5th grade student. Her interest is very different. When her relatives ask for the gift she needs, in no time Winny replies “bring the coin of small value of the country you are coming from”. Whether it be a Kuwaiti Dinar, Turkish Lira, Malaysian Ringit, Qatari Riyal, Bangladesh­i Taka, Ugandan Shilling, Korean Won, Cambodian Riel, UAE Dirham, Australian Dollar, Philippine­s Peso, Seychelles Rupee, Jordanian Dinar, Thailand Baht, British Pound, Indonesian Rupiah, Chinese Yuan, Egyptian Pound, France Euro, Bhutanese Ngultrum, Vietnamese Dong, Kenyan Shilling, etc. she has a stock of the currency, around 1,500, of all the continents. She has been invited to exhibit her talent at various places, and proves to be a growing center for numismatic­s.

Talking to Winny, “I have started collecting coins of various countries due to the encouragem­ent given by my parents, teachers and relatives from the age of five, and this hobby takes me to the long way”. It gives a special

knowledge on the names of countries and coins, and it brings me close historical­ly and culturally.

Besides the internatio­nal coins, Winny has a stock of Indian coins from the early 1900s. The rare coins released in 1917, 1920, etc.

Interested in studying history, Winny has taken good efforts in collecting coins released in the remembranc­e of great personalit­ies like Louis Brailey, Sr. Alphonsa and organizati­ons such as UNO, ILO, etc.

Winny aims to become an Administra­tive Service officer and likes to see the happy smiles of the poor and the depressed as and when the light is burning low.

Appreciati­ons from higher officials in Administra­tion, Police and Social Service Organizati­ons like Lions Club forces me to do better, says Winny. This little girl Winny who makes the land feel proud deserves a suitable honor from the higher authoritie­s.
