Detailed description
Gold Coin - Diwali - Festival of Lights
Issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2016 and minted in the finest 99.99% pure gold, this exclusive 1 Oz (31.16 g) proof gold coin is dedicated to the Indian festival of lights, Diwali (also known as the "festival of lights").
The reverse of the coin depicts a precise motif designed by Canadian artist Meera Sethi, inspired by the colours of the Indian folk art of Rangoli, celebrating Diwali with the rich patterns that traditionally adorn doorways and floors during the Festival of Lights celebrations. Canada's most famous symbol, the maple leaf, forms an inner ring around the sacred symbol "OM" - the eternal sound of creation, which is placed in the centre of the coin, releasing spiritual energy in all directions. The Canadian dogwood blossoms represent the cities of Toronto and Vancouver, home to the largest population of Indo-Canadians. There are also key spiritual symbols of the Sikhism and Jainism faiths and the initials of the artist "MS". The obverse features a traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt with the inscriptions "CANADA 2016", "ELIZABETH II", "D.G. REGINA" and the face value.
The coin comes in a deluxe wooden decorated box along with a numbered certificate of authenticity in a very limited edition of only 275 pieces for the entire world!
Diwali
Diwali (sometimes also called Divali) is a five-day festival celebrated mainly by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains. It is celebrated from mid-October to mid-November and is an official public holiday in India, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Fiji.
An integral part of the celebration is the lighting of small clay lamps (divas) filled with oil to symbolise the victory of good over evil. Participants usually wear new clothes for the occasion and give each other sweets. For some Indian financial institutions, the financial year starts on the first day of Diwali, which is supposed to bring them good luck for the next 12 months. The name Diwali itself is an abbreviation of the original word Dipavali, which translates from Sanskrit as 'row of lamps'.
The festival is also often referred to as the Festival of Lights. Diwali always begins on the 15th day of the Hindu month of Kartik, 20 days after the Hindu festival of Dasahra, when the moon is new.
