2016 Christmas Star Shaped 1oz Silver Proof Coin

The tradition of placing a single candle in the window during Christmas dates back to the beginning of Christianity. During this time a candle was lit on Christmas Eve symbolising Christ, the ‘light of the world’. The candle was left to burn throughout the night and was said to light the way for Mary and Joseph.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 1oz of 99.99% pure silver in proof quality.

The reverse of the star shaped coin features a burning candle with a red bow tied around it, surrounded by a wreath of holly.

Each coin is housed in a special star-shaped capsule with a ribbon, so the coin can be hung as a Christmas tree decoration.
