Gingerbread Christmas 2026 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin

The Perth Mint presents the Gingerbread Christmas 2026 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin, a festive celebration of one of the season's most beloved traditions, struck in 99.99% pure silver.

Gingerbread has become a delight of Christmas through centuries of English tradition and European folklore. Believed to warm people during the winter months, it soon became a cherished treat of the festive season. Moulded into various shapes, gingerbread cookies have evolved into the decorated candy-trimmed people and sugar-covered houses enjoyed today.

The coloured reverse portrays a village of decorated gingerbread houses, candy canes and gingerbread people carolling, sledding, building snowmen, carrying gifts and playing. Encased in the coin's centre is a colour enamelled gingerbread man figurine. The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III. Individually antiqued to convey a unique finish, this coin is presented in a gift box with insert.
