Gold Five Grams Bar - Lakshmi, Coin from United Kingdom
CoinGold Five Grams Bar - Lakshmi

The Royal Mint of the United Kingdom, which makes the country's circulating coinage, is also very active in the bullion coinage space and issues many bullion coins which are legal tender.

Additionally, it also makes bullion which is not legal tender and is targeted at investors and not at coin collectors - such as this one.

The Royal Mint says about this product:
Lakshmi is the Hindu god that embodies prosperity and good fortune. This five-gramme gold bullion bar features a design depicting the gentle goddess that is as beautiful as the precious metal she adorns. The bar’s reverse features a design based on a lotus flower.

Gold is a popular gift that has long been associated with luck and prosperity. By uniting this precious metal with a goddess venerated for the same qualities, this bullion minted bar serves as a delightful gift for a friend or loved one.

The bar was designed in collaboration with Nilesh Kabaria from the Shree Swaminarayan Temple in Cardiff.
