What you have there is a Solid silver Ganesha ritual coin, which is used in celebrating on Deepawali (A centuries-old revered tradition of worshipping Goddess Laxmi and Lord Ganesha on Deepawali is followed in millions of families around the world. Diwali is the day of win of good over evil. Every year, a hindu family adds a few Silver coins in the treasure of the house in the Diwali Puja.) - festival of light
Its makers mark is the VR in the center on the reverse. as to who the maker is yet .. i'm still looking
oohh thats wierd .. on one side it has the image of Ganesh, yet has the name of Shree (Shree Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity) on the other? with a ganesh coin you usually get the om symbols
is it possible to get a clearer image of the writing/symbols on the coin?
