For many, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a touch of gold. From the original Nativity story, where the Three Wise Men brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the baby Jesus, to the golden glow of lights and twinkling ornaments that decorate our homes, its link with this special time of year has been at the heart of festive customs for centuries.
The practice of hanging Christmas stockings is said to have begun with real coins and a tale involving the fourth-century Greek saint, St Nicholas. Legend has it that he wanted to help a poor family who were too proud to ask for help, so one night he secretly placed bags of coins in the socks drying on their fireplace. When word got out about the gifts, it wasn’t long before everyone was optimistically leaving their stockings out!
Just as St Nicholas wanted to give something of lasting value, a gold gift from The Royal Mint may be your answer to finding the perfect present this Christmas. Our seasonal collection combines craftsmanship with inspired innovation to bring you stunning pieces made using skills we have honed throughout our 1,100-year history.
Our 1g and 5g gold bullion bars make wonderful gifts with lasting value. Displayed in beautiful, seasonal packaging, they are the perfect size to slip into a Christmas stocking as a special present to take your gifting to the next level. For the home, we have a collection of unique Christmas decorations and gifts. The designs have been brought to life using a process called hexurity, which has captured the dancing of light and shade upon the precious metal. Choose from a range of eye-catching Christmas tree decorations, luxury scented candles with a gold twist or a premium notebook with golden bookmark to turn a new page in 2022.
