Obverse

Santa Claus is depicted in the obverse design of Silver Merry Christmas Santa With Toy Bag Bars. Based on the historic Christian bishop, Saint Nicholas, the modern versions of Santa Claus are rooted in characters that emerged between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in Europe. Father Christmas, as he is known in England, emerged during the reign of King Henry VIII in the 16^th century, and there is also the figures of Sinterklaas and Saint Nicholas from Dutch, Belgian, and Swiss folklore around the same era. The figure shown here has a thick beard with a hat and there is a seasonal MERRY CHRISTMAS greeting on this side of the bar.

Reverse

There is a blank central design element on the reverse of 1 oz Silver Merry Christmas Santa With Toy Bag Bars. The design field is left blank in the center to allow for custom engraving requests when the bars are purchased directly from the mint. The design field does, however, come with an ornate border element that is similar in appearance to a candy cane. The other details on this side include inscriptions of 2021, ONE TROY OUNCE, .999 FINE SILVER, and the SilverTowne pick ax mint mark.

History

Santa Claus, as he is known to North American cultures, comes from an 1823 poem entitled A Visit from St. Nicholas. The first visual depictions of Santa used in North America came from caricaturist Thomas Nast.
