Shrinathji Silver Coin — 65g, 999 Purity, Nathdwara

The Story of the Shrinathji Coin

For centuries, the devotees of Nathdwara have carried the form of Shrinathji close — in the home mandir, on the altar, and in objects passed from one generation to the next. This coin belongs to that tradition: a devotional artefact struck in 999 fine silver, made to be kept and honoured.

The Sacred Iconography

At its centre stands Shrinathji, the child-form of Krishna worshipped at Nathdwara, lifting the Girikandra of Govardhan — the mountain he raised to shelter his devotees. Around him the shrine is rendered in full: the lotus of purity, the Sudarshan Chakra, the flowing Yamunaji, the Shringar, and the Nathdwara mandir itself. Each element is drawn from living worship and carried faithfully into silver.

Why Silver, and Why This Carving

In Hindu tradition, silver is a sacred metal, favoured in worship for its purity and its cooling, calming nature. What sets this coin apart is the die itself — a carving more than fifty years old, with a depth of engraving no longer produced in the silver markets of Mumbai, Rajkot, Ahmedabad, or Nathdwara. It carries a quality of line that belongs to another era of craftsmanship, finished in a brilliant mirror polish.

Kept, Gifted, Passed Down

The coin finds its place on the puja altar and in the home mandir, and is given at Diwali, Govardhan Puja, weddings, and housewarmings — the occasions that matter. It arrives with a certificate of authenticity in protective packaging, and ships worldwide to devotees wherever they are — an heirloom of Nathdwara, carried forward.
