Congratulations to the Government of Guyana on the launch of the “El Dorado Reimagined” Independence Gold Medallion: the first locally minted gold medallion in our nation’s history.

Crafted from 99% Pure Guyanese Gold and inspired by our rich heritage, this limited-edition piece represents more than commemorative gold; it is a symbol of national pride, progress, and the brilliance of Guyana on the world stage. Each piece is uniquely numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

As we celebrate another year of independence, this medallion stands as a timeless keepsake for collectors, patriots, and those who value Guyana’s legacy and future.
With only a limited number available, this historic release is expected to be highly sought after.

The Guyana Mining School and Training Centre Inc. (GMSTCI) extends sincere appreciation to Mr. Rampersaud Gopaul of Gopaul’s Jewellery and Mr. Vead Persaud of LSM and Sons Jewellers for their generous donation of gold and other materials in support of the institution’s jewellery programme.

The donations provided students Jonathan Tulsie and Tamara Carvjal with valuable hands-on experience in jewellery design and fabrication using precious metals, including the creation of the first gold jewellery piece produced at GMSTCI. The piece was showcased at Guyana’s National Gold and Jewellery Brand, “El Dorado Reimagined”, attended by His Excellency President Dr. Irfaan Ali, the Honourable Vickram Bharrat, Minister of Natural Resources, along with other Government officials and members of the diplomatic community.

During the event, President Ali highlighted Guyana’s vision of moving gold production higher up the value chain through refining, designing, hallmarking, marketing and exporting finished masterpieces.

GMSTCI remains grateful for the support shown toward advancing practical training opportunities and the continued growth of Guyana’s jewellery industry.
