The modern Santa Claus we know today comes from the stories of Saint Nicholas, a 4th-century Christian saint celebrated for his acts of kindness and generosity, especially to those in need. Over centuries, his legacy spread across Europe, blending with different cultures to create the Santa Claus we recognize now.

In the 19th century, the famous poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (commonly called “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas”) shaped Santa’s image as a joyful, rotund figure with a white beard who brings gifts on Christmas Eve. This poem described Santa’s red outfit, thought to be inspired by the traditional robes of Saint Nicholas.

The obverse design of the Santa Merry Christmas Silver Round includes a classic portrait of Santa Claus. This right-facing relief shows Santa wearing his winter cap, with a long, full beard. Stars, holly, and a few snowflakes surround him, bringing a touch of seasonal spirit to the border of the design. The reverse side is kept simple, with a plain center and an ornate border.

By the 20th century, Santa’s image became iconic through advertisements, especially those from Coca-Cola, which popularized the cheerful Santa in a red suit we all know. This modern Santa is now a beloved symbol of Christmas, celebrated worldwide.
