2019 Fiji $1 Silver Coca-Cola® Holiday Coin - Limited Mintage

(Edited)

Around Christmas time last year, @silver510 showed his tree with various Christmas silver rounds.

So last year, I too decided to start a collection of Christmas-themed silver rounds. You can see them HERE.

Thank you for the inspiration, @silverd510!

I've added a few more to the collection!

2019 Fiji $1 Santa Drinking Coca-Cola Coin

Coin Highlights:

  • Coin contains 1 oz of .999 fine Silver in a Proof finish.
  • Limited mintage of 25,000 coins.
  • Obverse: The Fijian Coat of Arms over a textured backdrop of soft, drifting snow, a nod to the poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas ( A Visit from St. Nicholas ): As you tilt the coin back and forth in the light you will recall the line from the poem: “The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen snow, gave a luster of midday to objects below…”
  • Reverse: Features the iconic image of Santa Claus enjoying an ice-cold Coke. The detailed artwork is skillfully sculpted and struck in crisp, pure Silver. The original image was painted by artist Fred Mizen in 1930 for a Coca-Cola ad and depicted Santa in a crowd drinking a bottle of Coke.
  • This coin is manufactured and distributed by Scottsdale Mint and is legal tender in Fiji.

Have you ever wondered who the real St. Nicholas is?

StNick.png


Nicholas, who was born in the Asiatic village of Patara in the third century, is where the real story of Santa Claus starts. The region, which is currently on Turkey's southern shore, was Greek during the time. While Nicholas was still a child, his affluent parents, who brought him up to be a devoted Christian, perished in an epidemic. By following Jesus' advice to "sell what you own and give the money to the poor," Nicholas helped the sick, the afflicted, and the needy by using his whole fortune. As a young man, he was appointed Bishop of Myra and committed his life to serving God. Bishop Nicholas gained national recognition because of his kindness to individuals in need, his love for children, and his concern for sailors and ships.

The life and actions of St. Nicholas have been the subject of numerous legends and myths over the ages. These stories provide us insight into his remarkable personality and the reasons he is so adored and respected for protecting and assisting those in need.

A poor man with three daughters is the subject of one narrative. Back then, a young woman's parent was required to present a dowry—something of value—to potential suitors. The likelihood that a young woman will find a suitable husband increases with the size of the dowry. A lady was unlikely to marry without a dowry. Without dowries, the daughters of this impoverished man were bound to be sold into slavery.
The required dowries were mysteriously provided by a bag of gold that mysteriously came in their home three times. It is said that the gold bags that were thrown through an open window ended up in shoes or stockings that were placed out to dry before the fire. As a result, it became common for kids to set out shoes or hang stockings while they eagerly await Saint Nicholas' gifts. Occasionally, gold balls are used to tell the tale rather than sacks of gold. For this reason, one of the icons for St. Nicholas is three gold balls, which are occasionally depicted as oranges. Thus, St. Nicholas is a giver of gifts.

St. Nick is Turkish?!
Anyway, I think 2% milk would be better for him than Coca cola for hydration between deliveries.

Always, with love 🤗🌺❤️

Now that you mentioned that didn't Coca Cola have cocaine in it one time?
I'm imagining Santa wearing a Fez instead of his usual red hat.

Coca-Cola did, in fact, once contain cocaine, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. When the popular drink was invented, it was first marketed as a “patent medicine”; cocaine was legal at the time and was a common ingredient in medicines, according to the institute.
There you go! !LOL

Interesting bit of history with St. Nicholas! I was unaware.

I really like the coin; I've always like the Christmas themed things that Coca-Cola over the years have done; especially the TV commercials.

Having silver with this theme is awesome. I like the simplistic detailing of Santa who really looks like you might imagine Santa to look like! A lovely coin !INDEED

Thanks for sharing sis! !LUV ya much!🤗❤️🎄🎁😘😍 !LADY !PIMP !HBIT

!LOL I'm glad I included the story of St Nickolas here! I, too, didn't realize that a lot of people didn't know.
I think this was the best coin ad of Coke involving a Santa, although there might be others. We'll see! Who knows, !LOL?

Yes, I am a long-time investor, and so glad that I am!
It is a coin, to be exact. I love this one, it was taken from a classic print of an advertisement from Coke in 1949.
