From the Ancient Egyptians to the Romans, from the Celts of Britain to the Germans and Scandinavians in the late Middle Ages, evergreen leaves and trees have long been treasured as a symbol of hope, life and renewal. Believed to have been started in Germany in the 16th century, and bursting into life in Britain in the 19th century after endorsement by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, the Christmas Tree tradition remains immensely strong across the globe.
Celebrating this most powerful Christmas symbol in full-colour, this exquisitely struck Perth Mint release will keep you in the Festive Spirit all year round! A lovely gift as well, this unique Australian legal tender type is beautifully presented in an official case, set within a superbly illustrated outer box.
