<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bgarg, post: 187412, member: 1876&quot;]This is a famous Indian temple token also known as Ramtanka (literal meaning is &#039;Money of/for Ram&#039;) </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ram is a Hindu god and the top image on your token depicts a very popular Hindu theme known as &quot;<i>Ram ka Darbar</i>&quot; (i.e. Ram&#039;s Court). In the image, it is shown that Ram and his wife Sita is sitting on thorn. His three brothers, Lakshman, Bharat and Shatrughan, are standing on his sides and his devotee Hanuman (the monkey god) is sitting near his leg.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In second image, the two standing figures are Ram and Sita. The edge legends reads &quot;<i>Ram Lakhan Janki, Pavan Sut Hanuman</i>&quot; and it translates to &quot;Ram, Lakshman and Sita with devotee Hanuman&quot;. Also at the bottom, the date is written as AD 1740. This is a frozen date for all temple tokens from that era.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regards</p><p>Ballabh Garg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
