NEW RELEASE - Gingerbread Christmas 2026 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured Coin

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.                                

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.
