Please note that the background field of the round is silver, not black. The darker coloration in the photos is a result of shadowing and lighting.

The Christian celebration of Christmas is a festival that honors the birth of Jesus Christ. Though scholars have long debated the exact date of Christ’s birth, the churches of Western Christianity have observed the holiday on December 25th each year, with some Eastern Christian churches also observing the holiday on this day. Many Eastern Orthodox churches and other Christian churches in the Eastern world observe the holiday on January 7th.
Christmas is a public holiday in a number of countries around the world. Starting in the 20th century, the holiday expanded beyond traditional Christian believers to become a culturally observed holiday that was celebrated by non-Christians as well.
The obverse side of the 2021 GSM Merry Christmas Silver Round features an image of Santa Claus. Based on the 4th century Greek bishop named Saint Nicholas, today Santa Claus is known for his round belly, rosy cheeks, white beard, and his red-and-white outfit. In this design, Santa’s flowing beard is prominent on his face as he looks toward you in a three-quarter right-profile relief. There are snowflakes in the background field with a seasonal greeting on the rounds.
On the reverse face of 2021 1 oz Merry Christmas Silver Rounds is a depiction of snowflakes throughout the background field. Snowflakes are famously never the same, with each one boasting its own unique appearance. That is captured in this design with snowflakes of varying types and sizes. The weight, metal content, and purity are noted above, with a banner through the middle honoring the current Christmas season.
These 2021 1 oz GSM Merry Christmas Silver Rounds are available to you for purchase with proof-like visuals. Rounds with proof-like visuals have frosted design elements with mirror-like background fields. Each round comes with its own protective flip.
