Squirrels gather acorns on the reverse of the Squirrels 2026 $1 Gold-Plated 1oz Silver Proof Coin, a sharply detailed design brought to life with selective gold plating. Squirrels are known for their energy and curiosity, but it is their habit of planning ahead that this coin celebrates.

Acorns make up much of a squirrel’s diet. Sweeter white oak acorns tend to be eaten straight away, while the more bitter red oak acorns are buried and saved for leaner days. That instinct for preparation has made the squirrel a lasting symbol of resourcefulness, and makes this a fitting gift for a nature lover or for someone marking a first job, a first home or a new venture.

Struck to proof quality from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver, the coin is presented in a case with a clear lid and comes with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity.
