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.
Our Buddhism Celebration Rings are forged from authentic 1957 5 Rupee coins, issued by Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).
Official government-issued coin, not a replica
Struck in 1957 only, for the 2500th Buddha Jayanti celebration
Composed of .925 sterling silver
Features sacred imagery including lotus blossoms, the Wheel of Dharma, and ancient Sinhalese script
A true historical artifact, rich with global significance
This is a rare coin you won't find in everyday circulation — a real piece of world heritage.
Genuine historic coins, hand-selected for quality and detail
Forged by hand to preserve sacred symbols wherever possible
Never mass-produced — each ring is a one-of-a-kind heirloom
