Pioneers in the Gold Industry, Augmont is launching limited edition Silver Coin Kit with the theme ‘Bharat and Beyond’ to commemorate India’s 75th Republic Day

Meticulously crafted by Augmont, the ‘Bharat and Beyond Silver Coin Kit’ isn’t just a collector’s item; it is a symbol of the nation’s extraordinary progress, celebrating the milestones in technology, healthcare, education, and infrastructure that have shaped the ‘Bharat’ we see today.

This exclusive ‘Bharat and Beyond Silver Coin Kit’ offers a unique commemorative experience, featuring a 5-gram 999 purity silver coin that symbolises India’s progress, a copy of ‘The Constitution of India’ book by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, reflecting the country’s democratic foundation, and a selection of Augmont goodies, adding a special touch to this.

This thoughtfully curated kit serves as a tribute to India’s achievements while preserving the essence of its cultural and democratic heritage.

Sachin Kothari, Director at Augmont said “The commemorative silver coin kit celebrates India’s (Bharat) advancements over the past decade in sectors such as technology, healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

“It also serves as a symbol to inspire both present and future generations to continue fostering growth and development, carrying forward the flame of innovation.”

The Bharat and Beyond coin design draws inspiration from two iconic symbols of India’s governance and cultural heritage: the recently built New Indian Parliament building and the Sengol.

The New Parliament building, representing India’s vibrant democracy, stands as a symbol of strength, inclusivity, and progress in shaping India’s future. And the Sengol, an ancient symbol of power and justice, reflects India’s rich cultural legacy and the continuity of leadership.

Together, these elements embody Bharat’s journey of growth, bridging its glorious past with its ambitious future as it emerges as a global powerhouse leading innovation in technology, healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

Family-run legacy brand Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar (JGP) Jewellers has reinforced its commitment to transparency, accountability and consumer trust, with the Indian Association for Gold Excellence and Standards (IAGES) accreditation it has received across its 24 stores in Maharashtra and Goa.

As India’s gold industry steadily moves towards greater formalisation, legacy jewellers remain aligned on the need for standard, structured frameworks and ethical practices across the entire gold value chain. The IAGES accreditation is a Self-Regulatory Organisation (SRO) established by and for the Indian gold industry to bring clarity and accountability among retailers, manufacturers, refiners, bullion traders, assaying and hallmarking centres and digital gold sellers across all their business practices. The accreditation is awarded only after a comprehensive assessment conducted by an independent third-party assessor.

Established in 1950, Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers brings over 75 years of quality craftsmanship and traditional jewellery designs for a growing base of customers across generations.

Anand Pednekar, Director – Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers, Said:

“We’ve successfully built our brand over seven decades on pillars of trust, authenticity and transparency. The IAGES accreditation further reinforces our promise to consumers that they will always be welcomed with the highest values and the assurance of ethical sourcing and transparent business practices when they walk into any of our stores. We look forward to working together with our contemporaries to reshape the gold industry into becoming a globally accepted, future-ready reality.”

The IAGES accreditation is beneficial for both gold businesses and consumers. For jewellers, it reflects verified practices, ethical conduct, operational excellence and consumer trust and loyalty, while for consumers, it ensures that their accredited retailer has sourced and manufactured gold following the most rigorous standards of authenticity and integrity.

Kaushlendra Sinha, CEO, IAGES, Said:

“Our mission with IAGES is to bring greater structure and global alignment to India’s gold industry while addressing the need for formalisation within the domestic market. We are pleased to welcome Jagannath Gangaram Pednekar Jewellers to the network. Their accreditation highlights their commitment to industry standards and excellence, reflecting the values of integrity and responsibility that we stand for.”

IAGES is currently driving nationwide awareness through its ‘Before you buy gold, #PehlaCheckIAGES’ campaign, encouraging consumers to check for IAGES accreditation before choosing their gold retailer.
