This beautifully embossed, rectangular coin depicts a 3-dimensional image of Laxmi - the goddess of wealth seated on a 'Raj Kamal' or King Lotus against a deep crimson, enameled ground. This silver (92.5) coin, with the goddess richly plated in gold clearly reflects her attributes - wealth and prosperity. An elegant border encases her glorious form. During 'Laxmi Puja' on Diwali, the goddess is bathed with milk, honey and 'ganga jal' or water from the Ganges. It is annointed with sindoor or vermilion powder and grains of rice. Flower-petals are placed as an offering on and around the coin.
