2021 Christmas Wonderland 'Snowglobe' 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin
Christmas winter wonderland
In the northern hemisphere, Christmas is associated with snow and ice due its proximity to the winter solstice. As a time of celebration, feasting and religious observance, it owes its origins to diverse pagan and Christian cultural practices dating back more than two millennia. It is characterised by many popular traditions, including decorating Christmas trees and the hoped-for arrival of Santa Claus and his reindeers bearing gifts.
Christmas Eve scene design
The coin portrays a joyous Christmas Eve scene with excited children playing in the snow. The design includes gold coloured accents signifying, among other things, light emanating from cosy homes and fairy lights on Christmas trees. The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark is also included on the reverse.
The obverse portrays the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and an artistic circle of stylised snowflakes surrounded by the coin’s weight, purity, denomination and year.
