Tuvalu 2017 $1 Happy Diwali 1oz Silver Coloured Coin

Diwali is an ancient five day Hindu ‘festival of lights’. The main theme of the festival is the triumph of light over darkness, goodness over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair. The reverse of the coin features a coloured representation of Lakshmi sitting on a lotus flower with gold coins pouring out of her hands, symbolising material and spiritual wealth. The design includes the inscription ‘happy diwali’ and The Perth Mint's traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
