This ornate sterling silver dish likely dates from the period of the British Raj in India, a time when British monarchs were also Emperors of India. The inclusion of a George V King Emperor coin as a central motif is characteristic of items produced during his reign (1910-1936). Such pieces often combined traditional Indian craftsmanship with elements reflecting British rule or broader imperial themes. The surrounding embossed panels, featuring what appear to be Indian figure and elephant, present an unusual combination of imagery. This could indicate a piece commissioned for export or designed with a broader, perhaps even romanticized, view of indigenous cultures across the British Empire. The use of sterling silver and detailed embossing points to skilled silversmithing, common in regions like India during that era. 61 g
