A holiday "toy" for grownups! Order today!
A beautiful sterling silver Christmas tree rises up from the centre of our latest innovative and interactive 99.99% pure silver coin. The large format 5 oz. coin isn't just a pedestal for our tree-we've added engraved touches and selective gold plating to make this an enchanting holiday scene. But the true star of this design might be the sterling silver toy train; tilt the coin and the little train moves along the tracks that surround the giftsat the base of the tree.
When you tilt your coin, the little train moves along the tracks! Order today!

IT MOVES! Our latest interactive design delivers a dose of holiday cheer in the shape of a gravity-activated element that moves.
TWO CAST SILVER ELEMENTS! Cast in sterling silver, the Christmas tree commands attentionas it rises up from the engraved design. But the crowning touch isn't at the top of the tree;instead, look at the base of the tree, where the toy train (also cast in sterling silver) travels alongthe engraved tracks whenever you tilt the coin.
SELECTIVE GOLD PLATING! Selective gold plating colours the rim and the holiday wreath on the reverse.
FIVE OUNCES OF SILVER! With its 65 mm diameter, this large format 5 oz. coin allows us to add a mix of engraved and selectively gold-plated details to this top-down view of Christmas Eve ormorning.

INCLUDES SERIALIZED CERTIFICATE! The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
Design:
Cast in sterling silver, a Christmas tree rises up from the centre of this reverse design by artist Anna Bucciarelli. The design includes an engraved pile of gifts beneath the tree, along with a toy train (also cast in sterling silver) that moves along the engraved track whenever the coin is tilted. Selective gold plating colours the rim and the holiday wreath that frame our enchanting Christmas scene. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
