2023 Happy Diwali 1oz Silver Gilded Medallion

Diwali is the ancient Hindu ‘festival of lights’. The five-day festival represents the triumph of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. The medallion's gilded reverse features a representation of Lakshmi sitting on a lotus flower, with coins emerging from the palm of her hand. Next to her, a representation of Ganesha is sitting on a cushion while being attended by a mouse, who offers sweets as a symbol of generosity. The obverse portrays a diya surrounded by concentric patterns of lotus flowers surrounded by an ornate architectural motif.
