ANSWER: Ashok Chakra & Mahatama Gandhi
 
- The government's move comes on the hope that Indians, with their obsession for the yellow metal, will prefer the national coin over imported ones.
- Government launched three gold related schemes- Gold Monetisation Scheme (GMS), Gold Sovereign Bond Scheme and the Gold Coin and Bullion Scheme.
- The Indian gold coin & bullion is a part of the Gold Monetisation Programme. The coin will be the first ever national gold coin minted in India and will have the National Emblem of Ashok Chakra engraved on one side and Mahatma Gandhi on the other side .
- Initially the coins will be available in denominations of 5 and 10 grams. A 20 gram bullion will also be available.
