The German Mint, Mayer Mint GmbH Germany is celebrating the Lord Buddha with a set of Lord Buddha Gold Coins and medallions.

As per the mint, “Celebrated by Buddhists as a turning point in history, the Great Renunciation of the Lord Buddha saw him abandon his high station and embark on life as a seeker after truth. It was under a great, spreading, Bodhi tree that he felt he was undergoing profound, and extensive, alterations of realizations and awakening.”
“With high respect to the Enlightenment of the Lord Buddha, The Mayer Mint – Germany minted in association with the World Fellowship of Buddhist Youth (W.F.B.Y.), present the Lord Buddha – Enlightenment Coins and Medallions, available in the Premium and Advantage Collections. Issued by the Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan, the series of proof, fine gold coins, are precious numismatic art pieces in homage to the Enlightened One.”
