Maghen David Synagogue, Kolkata মুদ্রা
Maghen David Synagogue is a distinct part of Kolkata’s Jewish heritage. An architectural keepsake should identify this synagogue accurately, rather than turn Jewish history in India into an assortment of familiar symbols with no place connection.

A named Kolkata synagogue
The Archaeological Survey of India’s Kolkata Circle lists Maghen David Synagogue as a specific monument site. That provides an institutional reference for the building’s identity and its place in Kolkata’s heritage.
Maghen David, Beth El and other synagogues are separate institutions. A design using one building’s image and another’s name would obscure the very history the object is meant to honour. Begin with the exact site.
Reading the building from the inside out
ASI’s description dates the opening of Maghen David to 1884 and identifies a Victorian architectural scheme with a central nave, side aisles and a central tebah, or reading platform. These details help us read a place arranged for a congregation, rather than reduce it to a skyline silhouette.
A drawing of the exterior and a description of the interior tell different parts of that story. The first can help someone recognise the building in Kolkata; the second explains that the architecture accommodates worship and gathering. Neither turns a souvenir into a ritual object or implies that the congregation commissioned it.
From a story to a keepsake
Start with the person receiving the gift and the story you want it to hold. A family reference, the exact name of a place or a short account of the occasion gives the enquiry a useful beginning. Include any preferred wording and say which details are essential. The finished artwork and presentation are agreed with you before production.
All curated orders are made to order, with a minimum of 20 pieces per design and weight. Coin preferences are 10g, 15g, 20g, 25g, 50g, 100g. Weight describes the metal quantity; dimensions, relief and finish are separate parts of the specification. An enquiry helps establish feasibility and does not reserve stock or confirm a delivery date.
The presentation can hold the words that do not fit on the object: who gave it, why the motif was chosen and which moment it remembers. We discuss the kit or box as part of the quote, with its price and tax shown separately from the coin. Custom artwork and other additional work is confirmed before you decide to proceed.
Check names, scripts and the proposed depiction with the people who know the intended context. A commercial commission does not establish a temple, religious body, artist or other institution’s approval. Where a different format would suit the recipient better, the enquiry can explore that too.
