Description

Some crop circles are harder to dismiss… and that’s what makes Saskatchewan’s most famous UFO/UAP incident so intriguing! Viewed from the witness’s perspective, the Langenburg Event is the seventh unusual encounter re-told as part of Canada’s Unexplained Phenomena series of coins. On the morning of September 1st, 1974, a farmer was swathing his fields near the town of Langenburg, Saskatchewan, when he noticed five highly polished, steel-like objects at the edge of a slough. Upon closer look, he noticed these unusual saucer-shaped objects were rotating rapidly and hovering just above the ground. He continued to observe them until they suddenly rose up, emitting a strange vapour as they silently disappeared into the sky. But the objects hadn’t vanished without a trace; according to the RCMP incident report, they left behind “five different distinct circles, caused by something exerting what had to be heavy air or exhaust pressure over the highgrass,” which was curious enough to warrant serious attention both locally and worldwide. Blacklight included. HST/GST Exempt.

The Design:
The reverse design by Steve Hepburn presents the artist’s rendition of the well-documented Langenburg Event, which occurred on the morning of September 1, 1974. The incident is presented from the witness’s perspective: seated on his now-stalled swather with his back to the viewer, the farmer looks on as five saucer-shaped objects lift off after hovering above the tall grass. The vapour emitted by these objects, as well as the radioactive material deposited on the circular patterns that formed beneath them, are visible when the blacklight paint technology is activated. The obverse features a radial pattern behind the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
