Jaipur Sweet Market Is Selling Gold Coin-Inspired Sweets
As the name suggests, the sweet draws inspiration from the traditional gold coins associated with India’s royal era. Designed to resemble an asharfi, the creation combines an almond-based core infused with edible gold, also known as ‘Swarn Bhasma’. It is finished with a layer of gold leaf and saffron, giving it its distinctive golden appearance. Speaking to the media, CA Anjali Jain, founder of Tyohaar Outlet, said the idea was to recreate the traditional gold coin in an edible form. The aim was to offer a festive gift that brings together heritage, luxury and symbolism.
The price also carries a symbolic significance. Each 9-gram piece costs ₹1,111, while a box containing nine pieces is priced at ₹9,999. The confectionery has positioned Tyohaar Asharfi as a premium gifting option for the festive season. The sweet’s high price comes from its use of edible gold and premium ingredients. Its almond-based centre is infused with Swarn Bhasma and covered with gold leaf, while saffron adds another layer of luxury. The coin-inspired design is intended to give the mithai the appearance of a traditional royal gold coin.
