    Buddhism Celebration Coin Ring

    A Moment of World History — Forged into Silver

    📖 The Story

    In 1957, the world paused to honor 2,500 years of Buddhism —
    the teachings of peace, wisdom, and compassion that shaped nations and souls across continents.

    In the small island nation of Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka), a special coin was struck to mark the occasion:
    the 5 Rupee Buddha Jayanti Commemorative Coin.

    Minted only that year, in precious sterling silver, this coin carried with it the spirit of an ancient philosophy that still resonates today.

    When you wear this ring, you don't just carry silver.
    You carry the weight of 2,500 years of human striving toward peace.
