Garden gnomes first appeared in 19th-century Germany, where they were called “Gartenzwerge.” These little figures were believed to bring good luck and watch over gardens. In Scandinavia and other parts of Northern Europe, gnomes eventually became tied to Christmas traditions. Stories about small, helpful beings during the winter months fit naturally with the holiday spirit of giving and seasonal magic. Today, that charm comes to life in the 1 oz Snowy Gnome Silver Round, now available from BullionMax.

Round Highlights:

• Arrives in an individual plastic flip!
• Festive winter-inspired design!
• Makes a great stocking stuffer!
• Contains 1 troy oz of .999 fine silver.

Each Snowy Gnome Silver Round is packaged in a plastic flip for simple storage and handling. Its seasonal design makes it a thoughtful stocking stuffer, with a cozy woodland scene featuring a gnome in the snow holding a single wrapped gift.

In the United States, the tradition of gnomes as Christmas décor became more popular in the late 20th century, influenced by growing interest in Scandinavian style and the concept of hygge. Known as “tomte” or “nisse” in Nordic folklore, these gnomes are often shown wearing pointed hats, long beards, and warm winter clothing.

The obverse of the Snowy Gnome Silver Round shows a single gnome with a pointed hat covering its eyes, a warm winter coat, and a wrapped gift in hand. The gnome stands in a snowy woodland opening as fresh flakes fall around. On the reverse, a single ornament hangs at the center of the design, framed overhead by fir branches for a festive holiday touch.
