Another way to contribute is by buying Ram Temple Gold Coins. In a unique initiative, gold refiner Augmont offers a Shree Ram Mandir Coin Kit, a 7-gram gold coin available at a discounted price of ₹52,751 (originally ₹55,000), with ₹2,000 in free digital gold. Buyers receive a physical certificate as proof of purchase. However, it's important to note the higher making charge for these limited coins and the unregulated nature of digital gold in India.

If you are still interested in gold and silver coins and bars with the Ram Temple embossed on them, don’t forget to check the hallmarking symbols to ascertain their purity. This can be done through the BIS CARE App, where you enter your email and phone number to check the licence details of the jeweller. Then you enter the 6-digit alphanumeric hallmark unique identification number to find the authenticity of the coin.

The Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla in 'Mrigashira Nakshatra', is expected to start around 12.30 pm and end at 1 pm.
