2022 Perth Mint Happy Diwali 1oz Silver Gilded Medallion
Celebrate the spirit of Diwali – the Festival of Lights with this beautifully crafted 1oz Silver Gilded Medallion from The Perth Mint, designed as a meaningful gift symbolising prosperity, wisdom, and good fortune.
Struck from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver, this elegant medallion is enhanced with selective 24-carat gold gilding on the rim and edge, creating a refined contrast that elevates its ceremonial and collectible appeal. Issued as a medallion rather than legal tender, it is intended as a symbolic keepsake to mark one of the most important celebrations in the Hindu calendar.
Triumph of Light
Diwali represents the triumph of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. Celebrated by millions worldwide, the festival is traditionally marked with lamps, candles, fireworks, family gatherings, and the exchange of gifts. Central to the celebration is the worship of Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and prosperity, and Ganesha, god of good fortune and remover of obstacles.
