The Kaaba is the direction of worship for Muslims all over the world and is regarded as the holiest place on Earth. Located near the centre of the Great Mosque in Mecca, the Kaaba is unmistakable in shape and it is covered by the Kiswah, a black cloth embroidered with gold decoration. This year, and for the first time, the Kaaba is being represented on a Sharia-compliant 20g gold bullion minted bar from The Royal Mint. This bar was designed by Emma Noble.
