The images run the gauntlet from the symbols of the season to popular culture favorites like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Each round has a satin frost on the designs and polished background fields to create contrasting matte designs and mirrored backgrounds.

Obverse

On the obverse field of the 1 oz Copper Cartoon Rudolph Round is the image of a small dog dressed for the Christmas season as Rudolph. The dog wears a knit hat with antlers on the top and has a collar with a bell around his neck.

Reverse

The reverse of all rounds in the Osborne Mint Christmas Collection of copper rounds shares the same design elements. Here, various snowflakes of different shapes and sizes fall throughout the design field.

History

The 1823 poem that later becomes known as The Night Before Christmas introduced millions to the team of reindeer pulling Santas sleigh around the world on Christmas Eve. Though those original eight reindeer are still part of the team in cartoons, movies, and books today, one member of the team introduced in 1939 overshadows the rest. Rudolph made his first appearance in a booklet published by Montgomery Ward that year in a story written by Robert L. May. He would go on to appear in a short cartoon in 1948, a song in 1949, and comic books beginning in 1950.
