Please bear in mind that these rounds do not actually have a black background. The background is a standard silver, but appears darker in these photos as a result of shadows and lighting.

The birth of Jesus Christ is one of the more hotly debated historical moments. There is no accurate record of the exact date of his birth, with the calendars used in the ancient era not aligned in the same manner that modern calendars are. However, Western Christianity has observed the birth of Christ as Christmas Day on December 25^th for centuries.

Obverse

Obverse design elements on the 1 oz Silver Merry Christmas Rounds include a portrait of Santa Claus. In the 19^th century, Santa Claus became more closely associated with the Christmas holiday as a twist on the 4^th century Greek Bishop Saint Nicholas. It was at this time that the modern image of Santa Claus emerged as an older man with a portly frame, white hair, and a white beard. In this three-quarter right-profile portrait, Santa is grinning at you with his flowing beard and snowflakes in the background. There is an inscription on this face of MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Reverse

For the reverse design of Silver 2021 Merry Christmas Rounds, the Golden State Mint depicts a variety of different snowflakes. In real life, snowflakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes, with no two snowflakes being exactly the same. This side has various shapes and sizes of snowflakes falling through the field with a ribbon at the center that has 2021 inscribed in it. The GSM logo is at the bottom of the design field, with 1 OZ SILVER .999 FINE inscribed at the top of the design field.

History

Western Christian churches and most Eastern Christian churches actually observe Christmas and the birth of Christ on different dates. The Western world and some Eastern Christian churches celebrate on December 25^th, while the majority of Eastern Christian churches and Orthodox Christian churches observe the holiday on January 7^th.
