Referred to as ‘The Lord of Beginnings’, Ganesh is one of the best-known gods of the Hindu faith. As the god of luck, new beginnings and wisdom, Ganesh is often seen at the entrances of temples and sacred buildings, acting as a guard and protector. In 2022, the son of Shiva and Parvati appeared on a 20g gold minted bullion bar from The Royal Mint.

Ganesh’s unmistakable features have been beautifully rendered in gold, the precious metal associated with good fortune for thousands of years. This new gold bar serves as an ideal gift for a friend or loved one for any special occasion including Diwali, the sacred festival of lights.

 

  • An exclusive design depicting Ganesh, the Hindu god of luck and new beginnings
  • Contains 20g of 999.9 fine gold
  • The specially designed henna-patterned sleeve makes it an ideal gift
  • An auspicious gift to celebrate memorable events or occasions
  • Each bar is imprinted with a unique serial number
  • Designed in collaboration with Nilesh Kabaria from the Shree Swaminarayan Temple in Cardiff
How are bullion prices calculated?
The 'buy' and 'sell' prices shown on the website represent the market value of raw vaulted metal in an 'unallocated' form. This is the standard way prices are quoted throughout the bullion industry. In order for The Royal Mint to deliver beautifully crafted precious metals products to your address, or to our vault, a number of processes must take place, all of which incur a cost. These processes include transportation, refining, minting, quality checking and merchandising.

The price at which The Royal Mint is able to sell bullion products to consumers is therefore made up of the 'spot price' (the buy price) plus an additional premium. The premium accounts for the costs incurred in manufacturing a particular product and is usually either a percentage of the buy price or a fixed monetary amount. In short, manufactured bullion products always sell at a premium to enable retailers and manufacturers to cover their costs.
Can I spend/pay using my bullion coins?

All UK coins, whether circulating or non-circulating, are authorised as “legal tender” by Royal Proclamation, in accordance with the Coinage Act of 1971.

Legal tender allows UK coins to be accepted for payment of debts in court – but, only circulating legal tender coins are designed to be spent and traded at businesses and banks. The Royal Mint creates commemorative and bullion coin series to celebrate key moments or individuals, and these are treasured for their collectable and aesthetic value, or purchased for investment opportunities. However, these non-circulating, commemorative and bullion coins are limited edition and will not enter general circulation – meaning banks and businesses are not required to accept them.
