    I've had this medallion for some time, but I want to verify that it is 999 silver. Anyone here have any ideas?

    One side has an image of the Hindu Goddess Durga riding on the back of a tiger:

    The reverse has on Om symbol and has 999 stamped on it:

    It measures 3.2 cm's across

    Thanks

    Try a neodymium magnet test, plenty of vids on youtube, this will find out if the coin has a high silver content. It works too as I now use this to test all the coins I purchase, I did post a written method on here somewhere but cannot find it.
