Religious Tokens – Ramatanka

Religious tokens or Ramatanka or Temple Tokens etc., almost all the above mentioned names are pointing the same thing that is Temple or Ramatanka.

So what is Ramatanka or Religious Tokens?

Religious tokens are not coins in other words these types of tokens are not authorized by the government or government agencies. Also they were made to carry around to get blessings from the god. In most of the tokens we can see Lord Rama Sita and Hanuman. Mainly hanuman will be printed in the back side of tokens. Because Hanuman indicates purity and brave so most people tent to carry those tokens.

Actually most of the tokens are produced in 6^th 7^th & 8^th century resembles with those days real coins. Even today few of us will get confused whether it’s really a coin or Ramatanka.

Most of the Ramatanka are produced in copper / Brass / Bronze / Silver and Gold. Most of the tokens will carry Devanagari Script, even in Punjabi, Bangali & Kannada.

Today fewer duplicate tokens are running with different production dates. So you are willing to buy one be careful and its not going to worth more if you buy a duplicate.
