2024 The Christmas Nutcracker 2oz Silver Antiqued Coloured

Celebrating Christmas 2024, this festive coin is inspired by an enchanting Christmas Eve fairy-tale about a young girl’s love for a wooden nutcracker doll.

Staying up late to spend more time with her favourite gift, she witnesses a battle between an army of toy figures and a gang of mice, during which she bravely saves the Nutcracker from the wicked Mouse King.

In Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s classical ballet adaptation, Clara dreams the Nutcracker is transformed into a dashing prince who transports her to The Land of the Sweets, where the Sugar Plum Fairy arranges a series of spectacular dances to honour the young heroine’s courage.

Struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver, the coin features a 24-carat gold-plated nutcracker figurine at its centre.

Exuding warmth and festive joy, the coin portrays a traditional hearth on Christmas Eve. The design on the reverse of the coin showcases leading characters from the storyline, including the Nutcracker, his foe the Mouse King, and a young girl among Christmas gifts. Also included are fairies, Christmas trees, an owl and golden-coloured stars.
