Description
There is nothing on Earth quite like the Northern Lights. Their brilliant, dancing colors have captivated humanity for millennia, but because they are confined to high-latitude regions like Northern Canada and Alaska, few get to see them in person. Witness one of Earth's greatest natural phenomena with this 99.99% pure silver tribute to the Aurora Borealis. Mintage 30,000.
The Design
The reverse design features a captivating holographic depiction of the aurora glowing against a serene Canadian wilderness backdrop. For the first time, the Royal Canadian Mint combined a double-image hologram with frosted relief on the same side of the coin. Notably, this was also the Mint's first coin to feature a hologram without a raised border, allowing the shimmering lights to merge seamlessly with the engraved relief of the mountain peaks. Tilt the coin in the light, and the ever-changing, brilliant colors of the North come to vivid life.
