Obverse

On the obverse side of Silver Diwali Medallions, you will find an artistic circle pattern with an oil lamp at the center. These types of patterns are common during Diwali and are known as rangoli. Diwali is a festival of light, and both oil lamps and rangoli are common decorative elements used in the homes of Hindus during the festival period.

Reverse

The reverse field of 1 oz Silver Diwali Medallions comes with the image of Lakshmi, the Indian goddess of wealth and prosperity. Her figure is seen in a seated position just above a lotus flower. The image of Lakshmi includes two hands holding flowers as a third arm releases a wealth of coins from the palm. The design elements of Lakshmi and the coins come with a thin layer of 24-karat gold added as a gilded layer. Inscriptions on this face of the medallion include HAPPY DIWALI, 1 OZ 9999 SILVER, and the P mint mark of the Perth Mint.
