This genuine Medieval Indian gold coin has been
set in a modern 18 karat gold ring.
Religious themes predominate in Indian art. On
this fascinating coin we see two seated deities
representing Shiva and his wife Parvati
whose union was said to be "like a word and its
meaning." The reverse features a Kannada
language legend written in three lines, possibly
reading "Sri Pratapa Harihara."
