Kedah Gold Gallery officially launched, unveils the Golden Jubilee Commemorative Mu'adzam Shah Gold Dinar & Silver Coins (Dirham)
June 25, 2008
Kedah Darul Aman, Malaysia – A golden touch by the Sultan & Sultanah of Kedah at the launch of the Kedah Gold Gallery, left the 300-odd audience mesmerized with the Mu’adzam Shah Gold Dinar & Silver coins. In accession to the throne for 50 years, two hundred (200) limited edition box sets will be auctioned off to highest bidder, to raise money for the Yayasan Sultanah Bahiyah (YSB).
Kedah Gold Gallery (KGG) will showcase IGDX’s complete portfolio of products & services based in Gold Dinars and Silver Dirhams, offering consumers an opportunity to invest in physical gold and trade using IGDX’s GforG gold trading platform.
The first IGDX Gold Gallery store opened today in prestigious Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia. “Kedah Gold Gallery is extremely one of its kinds as it’s a Royal IGDX Gold Gallery. With this Gallery, we will continuously upgrade our 22 Wakalas (agents) worldwide in stages. More IGDX Gold Gallery stores will be opened in high profile locations in the next couple of years”, said Group CEO, Dato’ Dr Shamshudeen Yunus, at the official unveiling in Kedah Darul Aman. “We want to offer a more relaxing and uplifting retail environment for our customers to truly experience the power of investing in physical gold.
IGDX gave us a golden investment opportunity to not only materialize these coins by minting them in our backyard (IGDX’s refinery in Penang Island), but also benefited Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Kedah (PKNK) and Yayasan Islam Negeri Kedah (YIKED). If we would have outsourced this project to another gold minting company, the Kedah State Government would have spent much more, if not for E-Qirad’s profit sharing structure”, said Dato’ Seri Tunku Puteri Intan Safinaz, Chairperson of KGG. “In fact, we ended up spending next to nothing to mint all the Gold Dinars and Silver Dirhams”
, added Tunku Puteri Intan Safinaz.
At the gallery, consumers can learn the history of gold Dinar and worldwide gold supply & demands, gold prices, and even learn about new gold product offerings. Consumers will be able to buy and sell Gold Dinar and monitor their investments online at www.igdx.com.au . As more galleries open around the world, consumers will be able to buy and sell Gold Dinar, wherever they are.
The Kedah Gold Gallery is jointly owned, managed and operated by IGDX Holdings Ltd and Dato’ Seri Tunku Puteri Intan Safinaz, who is also the Chairperson for Yayasan Sultanah Bahiyah (YSB).
