FESTIVE GINGERBREAD
Gingerbread has become a delight of Christmas through centuries of English tradition and European folklore. As the spices of gingerbread were 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 we enjoy today.
A GINGERBREAD CHRISTMAS
The coin’s coloured reverse portrays a village of decorated gingerbread houses, candy canes and gingerbread people carolling and sledding, building snowmen, carrying gifts and playing. Also included is the coin’s weight, purity and 2026 year-date, along with The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark.
Encased in the coin’s centre is a colour enamelled figurine of a gingerbread man, the sweet and spicy cookie, beloved today for the simple joy and childlike wonder they bring to Christmas celebrations.
The obverse bears the Dan Thorne effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, the coin’s monetary denomination and a decorative pattern of stars encircling the gingerbread insert. Elements of this coin have been individually ‘antiqued’ to give them a unique finish conveying the surface abrasions of an ancient artefact. As a result of this treatment, the appearance of each coin in the mintage may vary.
PRESENTATION PACKAGING
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the coin comes in a classic display case with a clear lid housed within a white shipper featuring teal and pink foiled illustrations secured with a ribbon.
ABOUT THE PERTH MINT
The Perth Mint opened in 1899 as the British Royal Mint's 3rd branch in Australia. The historical Hay Street location handled gold refining until moving to a modern facility in April 1990. Ownership of the mint was transferred to the Government of Western Australia in July of 1970. Under an agreement with the Commonwealth Treasury, they were empowered to mint and market gold, silver, and platinum as Australian legal tender to investors and collectors worldwide. Today, they are amongst the elite world mints whose pure gold, silver, and platinum items are trusted without question. Items such as the Australian Nugget, Silver Coin Series (Kangaroo, Kookaburra, Koala, and Platypus to name a few), as well as the Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series are extensively sought after by bullion investors worldwide.
