The
Central Bank of Myanmar has been issuing quality tical, half tical and quarter
tical gold coins since 1991.
A
single star is depicted in the centre of the tical gold coin. Images of a
plowing farmer and an elephant hauling a log are depicted on the half and
quarter tical gold coins.
Owing
to high demand from the public, the quarter tical gold coins have run out of
stock and a quarter tical gold coin with a new design will soon be introduced.
The new quarter tical gold coin has a diameter of 18 millimetres and a
thickness of 1 millimetre. At the centre of the face of the gold coin is a
portrait of Bogyoke Aung San with the words Aung San written at the bottom.
Along the circumference of the coin, the words “Central Bank of Myanmar” and
“4.082 gm 999.9 Fine Gold” will be etched, while the opposite face will have
the “Central Bank of Myanmar 2018, quarter tical, 999.9 Fine Gold” embossed in
the Myanmar language.
When
a quarter tical gold coin is bought, the Central Bank of Myanmar governor and
the gold coin casting department head will provide a certificate of
authenticity.
The
quarter tical gold coins can be bought at the Myanma Gem Enterprise sales
centres (Nay Pyi Taw, Yangon, Mandalay) at the prevailing gold rate of the day,
along with a payment of the casting fee of Ks12,500, according to the Central
Bank of Myanmar.
