EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF THE HOLIDAYS: Re-live your favourite holiday memories and help make new ones in 2024 with this holiday keepsake. Trimming the tree is a fun activity that combines all the best of the holiday season: lights to brighten long winter nights; colourful decorations to liven up our spaces; and stories of holidays past to regale our friends and family.

LENTICULAR TECHNOLOGY: Tip the coin to see the winter scene shift from daytime to evening. The effect is made possible by lenticular technology, which provides a seamless transition between two different interlaced images—the image you see depends on your viewing angle.

INSPIRED BY NATURE AND CHILDREN’S BOOK ILLUSTRATIONS: Framed by the coin’s engraved edge, the lenticular design taps into Christmas tree memories in a uniquely Canadian way, by having some of Canada’s most iconic species take part in this time-honoured tradition.

YOUR 2024 HOLIDAY KEEPSAKE: Affordably priced at $34.95, this holiday-themed coin was made for sharing and gift-giving. A perfect stocking stuffer and a great gift for all ages!
