RE: Inherited coins

Fascinating trivia on the George V coin.
Are you finding Indians getting more into Silver now since the price of gold is getting very high nominally?

Sort:  

Indians are getting into Silver but Gold will always remain the number 1 choice since they have reserves. On an average Indians are given 100 gms of gold at the time of marriage which is kept for generations

I'd prefer gold too.
That's more than three Troy ounces. which is a great start for a new family. I recall that the average Established family has about 7 Troy ounces or about 220 grams.

I have a few British Indian coins somewhere in my collection and a pair of Mugal empire Rupees I can't quite identify.
Thank you for sharing these gem coins @diebitch
