<h1>Legal risks for refiner selling 50g 999.9+ silver collectible with religious imagery and Sanskrit mantra</h1> A London Bullion Market Association-accredited refiner and its joint-venture partner launched a 50g 999.9+ silver bar featuring a religious depiction and Sanskrit mantra, marketed as a collectible with assayer-certified packaging, unique serial numbers, and positive weight tolerance guarantees. Key legal issues include consumer protection and advertising compliance for purity and weight claims, intellectual property and cultural-sensitivity risks from using religious imagery and text, regulatory conformity for hallmarks and precious-metals trading, and potential liability for misrepresentation through distribution channels. Contractual and compliance controls over certification, packaging, and sales channels will be important.
