Large coin... India Anna or third party mint coin? Has Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge on obverse but can't find anything in my research that matches this. Any help appreciated.

Probably a temple token, it is definitely not a real Indian coin.

Not a coin nor a temple token, but an Indian bullion round (they sometimes also serve the same function as temple tokens). The "999" next to the "NR" logo indicates it is supposed to be .999 fine. You can see similar rounds on the forum here and here, among others, depicting the various deities of Hinduism.

Such rounds are also faked; whatever the coin in the first example I just gave is made of, it's not silver. Check to see that yours actually weighs 1 troy ounce.
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
