The shepherds who were visited by angels and traveled to see the newborn Jesus play an important role in the nativity story. Representing humble, everyday people, the shepherds were chosen to witness the miraculous birth of the Messiah. According to the Gospel of Luke, a host of angels appeared to the shepherds in the fields, announcing the Savior’s birth and guiding them to the manger in Bethlehem. Right now, 1 oz Nativity Shepherds Copper Rounds are available from BullionMax.

The inclusion of the shepherds in the nativity story highlights the inclusive nature of God’s salvation. As members of the lowest social class, the shepherds were not the expected recipients of such an important divine message. However, their presence at the manger symbolizes that the good news of the Messiah’s arrival was meant for everyone, no matter their status or background.

Each 1 oz Nativity Shepherds Copper Round comes in individual packaging, housed in a plastic flip. These rounds are part of a Nativity-themed series from Osborne Mint, created for the holiday season.

On the obverse of the Nativity Shepherds Copper Round, the design shows three shepherds standing near the barn where Jesus was born, surrounded by their flock. The moment when the shepherds received the angelic announcement and their journey to Bethlehem to see the newborn Christ is one of the most cherished scenes in the Christmas story.

The reverse of the 1 oz Nativity Shepherds Copper Roundfeatures a common design used across all rounds in this Nativity series. It shows a shield with eagle’s wings, along with the identifying marks of the round.
