Buy Silver Coins in Sikar: Weights, Designs & Prices

Silver coins in Sikar commonly come in 5g, 10g, 20g, 50g and 100g weights, priced by that weight against the day's silver rate rather than at a fixed price. Here's how to pick a weight and design, and what to check before buying locally.

What weight of silver coin should you actually buy?

Match the weight to the occasion rather than defaulting to the biggest one you can afford. A 5g or 10g coin suits a small gesture, a puja offering, or a gift for a child or a colleague, while 20g and above start to feel substantial enough for a wedding gift or a milestone celebration. Buyers holding silver mainly for its value tend to go heavier, since a larger coin carries proportionally less making cost relative to its weight than a design-heavy smaller piece. If you're weighing silver purely as a way to hold value, our piece on whether silver is a good investment covers that angle specifically.

What designs are most popular in Sikar?

Lakshmi-Ganesha coins are the clear favourite for festivals and prosperity gifting, reflecting the region's strong tradition around Dhanteras and Diwali. Beyond that, you'll find plain unembellished coins for straightforward gifting or investment, coloured deity coins for a more decorative option, and coins designed specifically for occasions like weddings or a baby's naming ceremony.

What should you check before buying a coin locally?

Ask for the stated purity, genuine coins are 999 (99.9% pure) rather than 925, since coins are valued for their silver content rather than durability, and confirm the exact weight in grams rather than trusting the size or look of the coin alone. Compare the price against that day's silver rate for the stated weight, a price that's noticeably below what the weight and purity should cost is a bigger warning sign than any single visual check. Our guide to identifying genuine silver covers the home tests, including the magnet test, that apply to coins as well as jewellery.

Does buying in Sikar specifically change anything?

The underlying silver rate is the same nationally, Sikar doesn't have its own separate price for the metal. What does vary locally is which shops are transparent about stating purity and weight upfront versus leaving buyers to ask, and Sikar's long-standing jewellery trading culture means most local buyers already know to check both before agreeing to a price. Our guide to how the silver rate actually works covers this in more depth.

How should you store a coin once you've bought it?

Keep it in a capsule, sleeve or an anti-tarnish pouch rather than handling it often, repeated handling and polishing actually lowers a coin's resale appeal, since collectors and future buyers prefer the surface untouched. Our full guide to storing silver properly covers this alongside jewellery storage.
