29 Taj Mahal Gold Coins You’ll Probably Never See or Touch
The Taj Mahal holds the distinction of being one of the Seven Wonders of the World built by man and is a white marble tribute built by the Mogul emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century.
The best of the best.
So you can’t blame the world-renowned Franklin Mint for unveiled a rare and unprecedented work of artistry – the Taj Mahal Gold Coin – at their new Manhattan showroom.
It was minted and designed by Monnaie de Paris and only 29 of these beauties will ever be produced.

It doesn’t stop there – the coin is not only the first and only French coin comprised of 1kg of solid gold, but it is the world’s first coin to include 68 hand-set Cartier diamonds.
You heard me - 68 Cartier diamonds!
The Taj Mahal Gold Coin is valued at $140,000 and is being offered exclusively in the United States. The case alone – an elaborate leather and wood piece by French luggage designer Goyard – is worth approximately $7,000. Thats over R1 million for a single coin!
Here is a closeup, so you don’t mistake this bad boy for lesser-awesome coins that don’t feature diamonds, weigh less than 1kg and are made in larger quantities…
Bang!
