The 2023 coin is a unique numismatic piece minted from 2 ounces of pure silver by The Perth Mint. It features an original ring shape, with a 24-carat gold-plated pendant in the shape of a Christmas stocking placed in the center. Around it, on the surrounding ring, a Christmas tree, wreath, garlands, snow globes, wrapped gifts, and other holiday motifs are depicted. The antique finish with colorful decorations adds extra charm to the design. The coin is legal tender in Tuvalu and has a denomination of 2 dollars. The total mintage is limited to 3,000 pieces, and each specimen is delivered in an elegant, festive case with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
The reverse of this extraordinary product showcases a festive scene full of warmth and nostalgia, evoking memories of the best moments in the comfort of home. The golden pendant in the shape of a Christmas stocking, placed at the central point of the coin, draws the most attention. It is suspended on the coin's ring, giving the composition a three-dimensional aspect. It is surrounded by a fairy-tale, homey setting with a colorfully decorated Christmas tree, surrounded by presents, garlands, and other decorations. A fireplace with a burning fire, sleeping animals, and milk and cookies left for Santa Claus are also visible. The obverse of the coin features the image of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by inscriptions specifying the weight, silver fineness, year of issue, and denomination. All information is placed around a festive wreath, which forms a beautiful frame for the main motif of the design - the Christmas stocking.
The 2023 edition refers to one of the most famous and beloved Christmas stories – the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," which was first published anonymously in 1823 and later attributed to Clement Clarke Moore. This poem gave rise to the legend of Santa Claus, depicted as a benefactor dropping gold coins into stockings drying by the fireplace to help a needy family. The story became an inspiration for the tradition of hanging Christmas stockings for gifts.
The coin, minted by the renowned Perth Mint, was designed as a collector's tribute to this custom, combining richly decorated details with elements referring to 19th-century illustrations and Christmas iconography. The limited edition of 3,000 pieces emphasizes its exclusive character, and the use of an antique finish and gilded pendant gives it uniqueness. By combining literary inspiration and masterful craftsmanship, the coin fits into the tradition of Christmas collector's editions, which are highly sought after by both numismatists and lovers of Christmas memorabilia.
