HYPEX

About HYPEX

HYPEX is the annual three-day exhibition of stamps, coins, paper currency and antiques organised by the Hyderabad Philatelic & Hobbies Society (HPHS), held at FTCCI House, Red Hills, Hyderabad. The event draws numismatists and traders from across India and is a fixture of the South Indian collector calendar.

HYPEX 2024 was celebrated as the exhibition's 62nd year, making it one of the longest-running numismatic-philatelic shows in India.

History

The Hyderabad Philatelic & Hobbies Society was formed in 1962 as the Indo-American Philatelic Society and was later renamed the Hyderabad Philatelic & Hobbies Society in 1974. HYPEX — the society's flagship public exhibition — reached its 62nd edition in 2024, reflecting the show's continuity over more than six decades. The society promotes philately and numismatics through exhibitions, seminars and workshops in schools and institutions.
