In 2016 the Royal Mint produced the United Kingdom’s first official Christmas coin.
Christmas is a special time of year and the Royal Mint has joined in the festivities by striking the UK’s first official Christmas coin. This £20 fine silver coin builds on centuries of good luck customs involving coins, with a design inspired by 2,000 years of storytelling. The Christmas coin from The Royal Mint comes in a specially designed booklet with space to note down favourite moments of 2016 and wishes for the coming year. The coin is finished to Brilliant Uncirculated standard and is approved by the Palace.
The British twenty pound (£20) coin is a commemorative coin, first issued by the Royal Mint in 2013. It comes in the original mint packaging with illustrations. Twenty pound coins are legal tender but are intended as souvenirs and are almost never seen in circulation.
