Symbol of Blessings: The Re 1 coin represents auspicious beginnings, adding a touch of blessing and completeness to the gift.

Continues the Tradition: Generations have passed down this custom, making it a timeless part of the Shagun tradition.

Enhances Positivity: The addition signifies ongoing growth, ensuring a prosperous future instead of just material wealth.

Respect for Goddess Lakshmi: The coin honors Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, believed to enhance the wealth and abundance in the recipient’s life.
