Comment

Interesting fact

The Krampus and Santa Claus coin from Gabon is a unique and interesting collector's item, as it features a unique design that combines two contrasting figures from different cultures. Krampus, a horned, half-goat, half-demon creature from Austrian folklore, is often associated with Christmas, while Santa Claus, a jolly old man in a red suit, is a symbol of the holiday season in many countries. The fact that this coin features both characters together on one coin makes it a standout piece among other collectible coins. Additionally, the use of silver (.999) in the coin's minting adds to its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after item among collectors.
