The journey of every Muslim man and woman,
taken at least once in a lifetime, is toward the
Ka'abah, the center of Islamic world, housed in
the Holy Mosque of Mecca, the holiest mosque in
Islam.
One of the five pillars of Islam, the Hajj, the
pilgrimage to Mecca, beginning on the 12th month
of the Islamic lunar year, preempts the great
assembly on the Day of Judgement when they will
stand equal before Allah once more.
GoldQuest International Ltd and B.H. Mayer's
Mint commemorate the faith of the Islamic people
and their response to the Divine call with another
numismatic legend, the Ka'abah Coin.
The coin showcases two of the most revered
landmarks of the Islamic world, the Ka'abah and
the Holy Mosque of Mecca. Minted by B.H.
Mayer's Mint and issued by the Central Bank of
Somali Republic, the coin depicts on its obverse
side the country's Coat of Arms, the national flag
held and presented by two triumphant leopards claiming
and celebrating independence from colonial power.
