Sap Moderator Australia 16805 Posts	Posted 10/27/2021 8:45 pm Indian silver bullion round. 9.67 grams is an odd weight for a silver bullion piece - it's not a round number in the metric (grams), troy ounce or traditional Indian (tola) system of measurements. All kinds of these privately-minted bullion items are coming out of India, many with religious designs. I suspect they serve a double purpose, as both a store of wealth and as "temple tokens" that can be used in Hindu household rituals. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
