They check out as fine silver (99.9%) with my XRF and density scales. Are they worth much over their bullion value? Identified - moved to Bullion forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 02/15/2013 4:07 pm These are more modern than the Ramatanka type tokens and fulfill a different role. They are jeweller's silver rounds and frequently given as presents for Diwali or on the birth of a child. Although they feature religious iconography their purpose is more earthly.

I suspect that someone in India has seen a commercial opportunity, with the growing prosperity of the middle classes in that Country. They probably won't be used much as Temple Tokens, and will probably be regarded as some sort of Hindu NCLT. Report this Post to the Staff
