Each round is .999 fine silver, meaning it is 99.9% pure. Its silver weight is 1 troy ounce.
The front side of the round shows a jolly Saint Nicholas smoking his pipe. He wears the traditional Santa Claus hat and has his familiar smile and full beard. The image is set against a proof-like finish. The outer rim bears inscriptions of a traditional Christmas poem, reading:
'The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath!'
The design on the back side features a frosted finish. 'Merry Christmas' is inscribed in fancy lettering while the twinkling of stars is depicted in the background. The round's weight and purity are placed at the bottom rim: '1 OZ .999 FINE SILVER.'
