| Reverse description | The reverse presents a gold-printed stylised depiction of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer standing upright in the centre of the field, rendered in a charming cartoon style and finished with selective gold plating. Rudolph's nose is represented by an applied red ruby crystal insert, the coin's most distinctive embellishment. The reindeer is framed within a decorative circular guilloche border, with holly sprigs and jingle bells arranged symmetrically in the lower left and right fields. The legend RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER curves along the upper rim, and the denomination 1$ appears in the exergue below the central design. |
