Gingerbread Christmas

Delight family and friends this Christmas by gifting them a stunning coin struck from 2oz of pure silver with a design that celebrates one of the tastiest Christmas traditions.
Gingerbread has become a delight of Christmas through centuries of English tradition and European folklore. As the spices of gingerbread were believed to warm people during the winter months, it soon became a cherished treat of the festive season. Moulded into various shapes, gingerbread cookies have evolved into the decorated candy trimmed people and sugar covered houses we enjoy today.
The coin’ s coloured reverse portrays a village of decorated gingerbread houses, candy canes and gingerbread people carolling and sledding, building snowmen, carrying gifts and playing. Also included is the coin’ s weight, purity and 2026 year-date, along with The Perth Mint’ s‘ P’ mintmark.
At the heart of the design sits a beautifully coloured enamel gingerbread man, bringing an extra touch of warmth and festive charm. The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, the coin’ s monetary denomination and a decorative pattern of stars encircling the gingerbread insert.
