Product Description

A Royal Canadian Mint holiday collectible with a unique design. Thanks to lenticular technology, the reverse of the coin changes between two scenes depending on the viewing angle, adding an interactive and magical touch. This charming scene refers to cherished holiday traditions, particularly trimming the holiday tree. The coin is designed to bring joy to collectors and those celebrating the holiday season.

Coin Appearance

The coin has a fun and interactive design that changes between two different holiday scenes depending on the angle at which it is viewed. Thanks to lenticular technology, the coin's surface displays a daytime scene – a beaver, bear, and caribou preparing the tree for the holidays. However, when tilted to one side, a nighttime scene appears - when the animals gather around a beautifully lit and decorated tree. This dynamic change from day to night adds a magical element to the coin. The graphics resemble winter tales, with vibrant colors and winter elements that evoke the holiday spirit. The obverse of the coin features the image of His Majesty King Charles III, created by Canadian artist Steven Rosati. The coin is packaged in a box with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The coin is both a charming holiday gift and a collectible item.

Historical Background

The coin is part of a series of holiday-themed coins issued annually by the Royal Canadian Mint to celebrate cherished winter traditions. The history of this coin series is rooted in long-standing Canadian cultural practices and commemorating the holiday season. In this case, in addition to tradition, lenticular technology is used, a feature that allows the design to change with the viewing angle, making it a more interactive and visually engaging element. The coin's design, with its changing scenes, highlights the tradition of trimming the holiday tree, a central activity in Canadian holiday celebrations. It symbolizes family unity and holiday joy. An additional reference to Canadian heritage is the depiction of iconic animals, reflecting the importance of nature and animals in Canadian culture.

Manufacturer

With Canada's growing independence from the United Kingdom, the need for minting its own coins also increased. Therefore, in 1908, the Royal Canadian Mint was established and has since become one of the most important mints in the world. To this day, all coins from the Royal Canadian Mint bear the portrait of the reigning British monarch.

The Mint's shares are held in trust for the Crown of Canada.

The Mint produces all Canadian circulation coins and is involved in designing and manufacturing collectible coins from precious metals - gold, silver, palladium, and platinum bullion coins, medals, as well as medallions and tokens. It also offers gold and silver refining services.

Today, the Royal Canadian Mint sets standards in minting technology and numismatic design, reflecting its position and reputation.
