Each 1 oz Madonna and Child Silver Round is packaged in a protective plastic flip to help preserve its condition. This piece makes a thoughtful gift during the Christmas season, featuring one of the most recognized portrayals of Mary with the newborn Jesus.

Depictions of the Madonna and Child first appeared in the 4th and 5th centuries, starting in Roman catacombs and later in Byzantine church art. These early works highlighted Mary’s role as Theotokos, or “God-bearer,” and underscored the belief in Christ’s divine and human nature.

The obverse of the round presents Mary in left-profile, a halo around her head, as she gently holds baby Jesus in her hands. Over the centuries, artists such as Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo created memorable versions of this scene, blending religious meaning with a human touch. The reverse design frames the top with fir branches, with a single ornament hanging at the center.
