MAHATMA GANDHI
PROOF R1 COIN
PROTEA SERIES
Sterling Silver 925 Ag 75 Cu
"Mahatma" is an honorary title and term of reverence rooted in the Sanskrit term for "great souled." It was conferred on Gandhi in 1915 by the Asian Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.
The R1 silver features a young Gandhi and his colleagues seated outside his law practice in Durban ,South Africa . Although not South African by birth, he said "I was born in India, but I was made in South Africa".
South Africa was the crucible that forged Gandhi’s identity as a political activist and was an important prelude to his return to India , where he played a pivotal role in securing its independence from British rule in August 1947.source:
