Vivid Colour Design
As the Hindu deity of intellect, patron of arts and sciences, and remover of obstacles, the elephant-like Ganesha is worshipped with the goddess Lakshmi to welcome wisdom along with wealth. The reverse of the coin features a coloured representation of Ganesha as he is traditionally portrayed. He holds a lotus flower, a symbol of enlightenment, an axe to cut down ignorance and has a mouse at his feet.
As an animal that can find its way into a small spaces, the mouse complements the strong elephantine god’s abilities to overcome obstacles. Meanwhile, as an animal that is constantly nibbling away at anything it can, the rodent serving Ganesha is a metaphor for how a wise person remains in control of their desires. The design includes the inscription ‘happy diwali’, the 2018 year-date and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark.
