Lord Ganesha is one of the most popular gods of Hinduism. The yearly festival of Ganapati has being witnessed by the society for nearly 250 years. Its purpose was to gather people and lessen the gap between different religions and communities. Ganesha reserves a vital place in Vedic rites and rituals. Without him, no sacrifice is supposed to be complete. He is also the most popular in art and crafts and the field of numismatic it not behind when it comes to worship this god.

The most interesting numismatics evidence is this copper coin of the Rajas of Sivaganga. The obverse of this coin depicts Lord Ganesh seated on a Mushaka (his vahana rat) facing the front. The reverse of this coin depicts a Shivling.

Shree Ganesha was also depicted on many other coins like the Ganapati-Pantapradhan rupee, one Kasu of Tipu Sultan and the Ganapati Pagoda of Western Ganges. This provider of fortune and success was not only worshipped in India but also through the Asian continent in the countries like Japan, Thailand, Nepal, Shri-Lanka, Laos, etc.
