This is the 2nd in a series of coins that glow in the dark showing how shimmering curtains of light ripple through the night sky in the North of Canada.

Northern Lights, aurora borealis, move as though a breeze gently blows the curtains even in when the air is still and there is only silence. The Artist takes advantage of colours that glow in the dark to show two wolves howling into the windless night and their shadows in the moonlight. Thor Peak towers in the background. Expose the coin to natural light and then look at it in the dark to trigger the full effect.

The Royal Canadian Mint is a leader in innovation in colour on collectibles. The first coin in this series sold out quickly with a mintage of 7500. This coin has an even more limited mintage of 4000. It is a significant addition to collections including those with themes of nature, Canadiana and those who follow innovations in the craft.

ABOUT THE ROYAL CANADIAN MINT

The Royal Canadian Mint is known as one of the most reputable mints in the world. The Ottawa Branch of the Royal Mint opened in 1908 and was renamed The Royal Canadian Mint in 1931 when control was transferred to the Canadian government. Their high standards for excellence and quality allowed them to be the first refinery to manufacture 9999 fine gold bullion coins in 1982, as well as the first to reach 99999 fine gold purity in 1998.
