{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}The story of Santa Claus traces back to St. Nicholas of Myra, a 4th-century Christian bishop from what is now Turkey. Known for giving secret gifts and helping those in need, St. Nicholas became one of Europes most beloved saints, with a feast day celebrated on December 6th. Dutch settlers carried their Sinterklaas traditions to America, where the name gradually changed to Santa Claus. Today, 1/2 oz Santa Shaped Silver Bars are available at BGASC.
Highlights:
Every 1/2 oz Santa Shaped Silver Bar is secured in a specially made capsule that fits its shape. The capsule doubles as an ornament so you can hang this festive silver bar around your home when decorating for the holidays.
Design
The design of the 1/2 oz Santa Shaped Silver Bar is based on the familiar, modern version of Santa Claus. American writers and artists of the 19th century shaped this image through their works. Clement Clarke Moores A Visit from St. Nicholas, published in 1823, introduced the friendly, round figure, the reindeer-pulled sleigh, and Santas memorable chimney visit.
History
Figures like Father Christmas in England and other winter gift-bringers from Germanic and Nordic cultures also influenced the Santa image that developed over time. These various customs and stories came together, blending religious traditions with older folk celebrations to form the Santa we know today.
