Tuvalu 2024 $2 The Christmas Nutcracker with Gold Plated Charm 2oz Silver Antiqued Coin

The coin’s reverse is inspired by a Christmas Eve fairy-tale about a young girl’s love for a wooden nutcracker doll. Staying up late to spend more time with her favourite gift, she witnesses a battle between an army of toy figures and a gang of mice, during which she bravely saves the Nutcracker from the wicked Mouse King. The design portrays leading characters from the storyline, including the Nutcracker, his foe the Mouse King, and a young girl among Christmas gifts. Encased in the coin’s centre is a 24-carat gold plated representation of a nutcracker figurine.
