Indian Seal Ring - Mughal Coin with Figures

A chunky polished band with a small rust-coloured coin set in its face.

This seal ring with mughal coin and figures is from India. It is copper & sterling silver. Coins have long been set into jewelry in South Asia, and sterling silver is a common mount for rings that use older metal discs as their face. Heavy, smooth band that broadens toward an oval bezel with a thin rim. The bezel holds a dark coppery disc whose worn relief is hard to read. Bright, mirror-like sides show faint grey tarnish near the inner shoulder.

Wears its loose change with real confidence.
