Original ram tankais one of the fifty coins which was given by Lord Rama to a devotee in his miserable time to save him from his misfortue. It is supposed to be a gold coin round in shape round semicircular in shape. These takais are dated back to 5016 bce,during Lord Ramas rule, (not the takais in circulation dated in AD), one of he oldest coins ever to be made and one of the most precious coins in the hindu culture. Over the ages there are only two of them in some indian hindu families. It is what the story of Ramtanka origin passed on through ages.
Greetings and Welcome to the forum. Is this the coin your referencing? I placed it by a nickel so you could get an idea of how large it is. Again, Welcome to the forum. Ben
LOL Yeah, that stuff happens to me all the time. Just look.... I didn't even spell "indian" right in my response to Bone.
as far as i know thats just a legend there is no scientific proof that the coins exist or they are the same as handed out by god
We have a couple of members who specialize in Indian Coinage. I have only a couple but not the one your looking for. Here is my earliest a Kushan; Huvishka I riding an elephant. A bronze tetradrachm 156-192 A.D. Take Care Ben
vaibhav: That is an interesting story about the gold coin, I hope someone who has one will post some shots. Here is one of my favorite Indian coins, from Madras I think... 1808 10 cash. Beautiful condition. and, of course, Welcome.
