TRIUMPH OF LIGHTS

Diwali is the ancient Hindu ‘festival of lights’. Observed by millions of people in India and around the world, the annual five-day festival represents the triumph of light over darkness. Celebrated with candles and lamps, fireworks, family feasts and the exchange of many gifts, Diwali is also a time to pay homage to Hindu deities, including Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Ganesha, the god of good fortune.

The medallion’s reverse portrays a representation of Lakshmi sitting on a lotus flower, the symbol of enlightenment, with coins emerging from the palm of her hand. Also included is the inscription ‘happy diwali’, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, and the medallion’s weight and fineness.

OBVERSE DESIGN

The obverse features a representation of Ganesha sitting on a cushion while being attended by a mouse, one of his traditional mounts, who offers sweets as a symbol of generosity. Also included in the design is the inscription ‘happy diwali’.

ABOUT THE PERTH MINT

The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint’s 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
