I have a beautiful silver coin, but I have no idea what it is and would be grateful if anyone could identify it for me. Thanks!

This is a Hindu temple token. Many have been shown here before. One came with an excellent description of their use and history.

These are generally called Ramatankas and a search on that will tell you all you need to know. Rarely are they pure silver, although yours looks as though it could be. Has it been tested?
