Christian Traditions
Our Lady of Vailankanni Coin
Vailankanni’s stories begin with ordinary acts and vulnerable lives: a gift of milk, a child seeking help and sailors caught at sea. At this Tamil coastal shrine, Catholic devotion to Mary meets personal memories of care, gratitude and pilgrimage. The sacred accounts are best understood in that devotional setting.

Tell us about the coin you would like, your preferred metal and the occasion. We will discuss the design, availability and next steps with you.
Made to order · Minimum 20 pieces
Pair your chosen coin with a gift box. Artwork, box style and the itemised price are agreed with your quote.
Made to order: minimum 20 pieces of the same design and weight.
After your enquiry, we review the artwork and presentation with you, then send an itemised quote. The final price, taxes and delivery are confirmed in that quote. No payment is taken with an enquiry.
Begin with the image you know
Choose whether the dedication should show Our Lady of Vailankanni, the basilica or a simple name and date. Share the exact image and preferred Tamil or other wording for review.
Let the card carry your gratitude
A remembered visit or a thank-you to someone who offered care can give the gift its meaning. Keep the coin clear and use the card for the fuller personal message.
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.
