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: Worshipped daily across the world, the goddess Lakshmi is the spiritual embodiment of wealth and good fortune. This one gramme gold bullion bar features a design depicting the gentle and loving goddess that is as beautiful as the precious metal she adorns. The bar’s reverse features a new design based on a lotus flower.
Esteemed for its beauty, gold has long been a popular gift associated with luck and prosperity. By uniting this precious metal with a goddess venerated for the same qualities, this gold bullion minted bar serves as a wonderful gift for a friend or loved one.
The bar was designed in collaboration with Nilesh Kabaria from the Shree Swaminarayan Temple in Cardiff. |
