{{/presale}} {{#promotion_on}}Reindeer have long been tied to Christmas traditions, especially due to their role as Santas sleigh-pulling companions. This connection can be traced back to Clement Clarke Moore’s 1823 poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” also called “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.” The poem gave us the classic image of Santas reindeer team flying through the night sky. Today, 2024 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold Christmas Reindeer Coins are available from BGASC.
Highlights:
Each 2024 1/2 Gram Proof Congo Gold Christmas Reindeer Coin comes with its own custom capsule, perfect for both collectors and those looking for a special holiday gift. This limited-edition gold coin makes a great addition to any collection.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2024 Proof Congo Gold Christmas Reindeer Coin features the national coat of arms of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This design shows a lion in profile on a spade-shaped shield, flanked by elephants.
Reverse
On the reverse, the 2024 1/2 Gram Proof Gold Christmas Reindeer Coin features a festive reindeer with a glowing red nose. Set in a beautiful winter scene with snowy hills and pine trees, this design captures the magic of the holiday season.
History
The poem by Moore names Santas eight reindeer: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. Many years later, in 1939, the story of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer was added, written by Robert L. May for a promotional booklet by Montgomery Ward. Reindeer are fitting for the role, as they have a strong connection to the cold, northern regions of the world where they have been used for transportation.
