Fellow collectors - Saint Nicholas of Myrtle's birthday isn't until tomorrow, but tonight he's handing out sweets and fruit to children - he's accompanied by an angel and a devil.
It is part of many coins - in all metals from the cheapest to super expensive gold.
These traditions of Christianity are for those who celebrate it and those who don't, at least look at what is happening here and in neighboring countries (hell in Austria it's a complete horror)
A small sample of coins on this topic:
,, Saint Nicholas of Myra (ca. 280/286 Patara – 6 December 345/352 Myra) was a bishop in Myra in Lycia. Already during his lifetime he was very popular among people, he was famous for his generosity to the needy,,

So tonight, watch out, whoever is good and hasn't been naughty will get a gift from Mikuláš, and whoever is naughty and doesn't want to exchange coins in SWAPU and isn't interested in numismatics - then the devils will beat him with a chain.
