1 oz 2025 Haunted Canada: Lady in White Colourized Rectangular Proof Silver Coin | Royal Canadian Mint

Love eternal: Experience a ghostly encounter at Québec’s Montmorency Falls.

Whether you’re peering over the suspension bridge to view the rushing water from above, or watching it from below, you’ll be mesmerized by the all-season beauty of the Montmorency Falls, located in the Québec City area. If you look carefully, you might even catch a glimpse of something—or someone—unexpected in its mist: Mathilde Robin, the grief-stricken bride-to-be who, dressed in her white wedding gown, plunged into those tumbling waters after her beloved was killed nearby in the Battle of Beauport (1759). They say her body was never found… but many still claim to hear her cries or see her ghost leap from the top of the falls, as she did in life—she is the Lady in White, who haunts this coin’s reverse when the black light paint technology is activated.

Back by popular demand: A new Haunted Canada tale.

GHOSTLY IMAGERY

Your colourful view of the Montmorency Falls is enhanced with black light paint technology that, when activated, unlocks a spooky new layer to this visual story.

DID YOU KNOW?

Montmorency Falls consists of three separate waterfalls, with the Grand Sault (seen here) being the largest of the three. It was Samuel de Champlain who gave the falls their name in 1613, in honour of the Duke of Montmorency, Viceroy of New France and Brittany, who never actually saw the falls that still bear his name.

It is said that Mathilde’s fiancé was one of the more than 60 French soldiers who perished while fighting British forces in the Battle of Beauport (also known as the Battle of Montmorency), which was waged near the falls on July 31, 1759.

The reverse design by Canadian artist Pandora Young presents a view of the Montmorency Falls in the Québec City area, where a suspension bridge spans the top of the falls that plunge into the St. Lawrence River below. When the black light paint technology is activated, a ghostly figure appears in the mist, clad in a white wedding dress—it is the Lady in White, Mathilde Robin, who, distraught over the death of her fiancé in battle in 1759, threw herself into the falls that she still haunts today. The obverse features a wave pattern behind the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
