1 oz silver COCA-COLA 2019 FIJI SANTA $1
Scottsdale Mint is pleased to announce a special limited mintage release; The 2019 Coca-Cola Santa 1 oz Silver Holiday Coin. Santa Claus and Coca-Cola are global pop culture icons that have been intertwined in holiday advertising since the 1920s, so much so that Coca-Cola actually helped to shape the image of Santa Claus as we picture him today.
