| Sikh Medallion, Silver (999 %), 50.00g, 17.20mm, 300th Anniversary of Khalsa, 1699 -1999, Commemorative Medallion Designed by Anandpur Sahib Foundation,issued by the Punjab Small Industries & Export Corporation Ltd in association with the Government of Punjab, Manufactured in India by MMTC with specially imported silver from Switzerland 50.110g, 999 fine, Released on 8 April 1999 by honourable prime minister Mr Atal Bihari Vajpayee. In the second half of the 17th century a group of Kashmiri Hindus fleeing religious persecution at the hands of Aurangzeb sought the help of the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur. On their behalf, he protested against their oppression, but he and a number of his colleagues were arrested by the Mughal administration. At Delhi, he was ordered to perform a miracle or to convert to Islam but when he declined to do either his colleagues were tortured and killed, and he was publicly executed. It was in the wake of these events that his son Guru Gobind Singh began the Khalsa tradition. With broad and profound religious significance to Sikhs, one element of the Khalsa is that the initiated are warriors with a duty to protect the innocent from religious persecution.
