Description This 2010 $20 99.99% pure silver coin showcases the intricate structure and beauty of pine cones, enhanced with genuine Swarovski Elements that make it an ideal Holiday keepsake. The Design: A pair of pine cones with a crystal-effect to enhance the pine needles and a decorative ribbon along the coin’s edge. The Holidays are a time of garlands and wreaths filled with evergreen boughs and pine cones; it’s a tradition that dates back to ancient times. People feared the darkening, cold days of winter and would light fires and decorate their homes with evergreen boughs to bring back the light and warmer weather. At the same time, they also noticed the pine, fir and spruce trees stayed green and preserved their fruits. As such, they became symbols of life, rebirth and re-generation—a precious connection to nature to punctuate our technology-centered world.
