This piece was repurposed from a Nepalese 1 Rupee coin issued during the reign of King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah. Made of copper-nickel alloy, the coin was later hand-modified in the Himalayan region and adapted into an amulet or decorative piece with stone settings. Offered as a cultural example of Nepalese coin reuse rather than an ancient artifact. For thousands of years, unique spiritual objects, ritual items, and protective totem amulets have existed throughout Tibet and the Himalayan regions. These artifacts carry deep cultural meaning, symbolic power, and a long tradition of faith and protection. We treat every Himalayan artifact with great respect-whether it is a bead, amulet, ritual object, or antique collectible. We hope you find the piece that resonates with you and discover your own source of hidden power.
