{{/presale}}Reindeer are a familiar part of Christmas imagery, largely because of their connection with Santas sleigh. This idea originated in the 1823 poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” also known as “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” by Clement Clarke Moore. The poem introduced the concept of Santa’s reindeer-led sleigh, making them a symbol of the holiday season. Now, 2024 Proof Congo Christmas Reindeer 1/2 Gram Gold Coins are available from Provident Metals.

History
In Clement Clarke Moores famous poem, Santas sleigh is pulled by eight reindeer: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. Many years later, in 1939, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer was added to Santas team in a story written by Robert L. May for a holiday promotion by Montgomery Ward. The use of reindeer is fitting due to their connection to northern climates, where theyve been traditionally used for pulling sleighs.
