Comment
Based on Father Christmas, the character from a British Children’s book written and illustrated by Raymond Briggs.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of Father Christmas, which is not commonly seen on coins. The design depicts Father Christmas in a traditional red robe and white beard, holding a sack of toys and standing in front of a Christmas tree. This design is surrounded by a wreath of holly, adding to the festive theme of the coin. The use of gold and the Piedfort technique, which involves striking the coin multiple times to create a thicker and more detailed design, only adds to the coin's uniqueness and collectibility.
