| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold ultra-high relief depiction of Santa Claus seen from above, seated in his gift-laden sleigh and holding the reins, rendered with exceptional three-dimensional sculptural detail. A decorative wreath of selectively gold-plated seasonal foliage, flowers, and berries frames the central composition, encircling the figure and imparting a festive, celebratory character to the design. Snowflake motifs accent the lower field, adding to the wintry atmosphere. The designer's initials 'RP' appear in the lower left field. The date '2022' and the legend 'CANADA' are inscribed in the lower exergue in plain Latin characters. |

| Additional information |
The Royal Canadian Mint has produced holiday-themed bullion and collector issues annually for decades, but the selective gold plating technique used here — applied galvanically to specific design elements while leaving surrounding silver surfaces exposed — requires masking processes that add meaningful production complexity beyond a standard proof strike. The .9999 fine silver specification places this above the .999 floor common to most collector silver issues from other world mints.
