Surrounded by nature, enjoy a 360ᵒ view of the aurora-filled sky.
The beauty of the Canadian wilderness is unmatched, but on a cloudless fall or winter night, don’t forget to look up—you might catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis dancing overhead. This 99.99% pure silver coin presents a breathtaking view of the northern lights, a luminous phenomenon that never fails to inspire awe. On the coin’s reverse, the 360-degree perspective pulls you into the night scene, where the surrounding forest—home to a secretive nocturnal hunter—frames your view of nature’s most dazzling celestial light display, which grows even brighter when viewed under a blacklight (included).
A 360-degree view of the northern lights—a hallmark of Canada’s great outdoors.

EXPERIENCE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
Canada is one of the best places to view the aurora borealis (also known as the northern lights), which dances and colourfully lights up the night sky on this 99.99% pure silver coin enhanced with colour and blacklight technology.
SPHERICAL ART
Your coin’s reverse features a panoramic view of the sky and the surrounding forest. This produces a more immersive 360-degree perspective—it will make you feel like you’re out in the Canadian wilderness, surrounded by tall trees and gazing up at the sky.
ENGRAVED PANORAMA
More than just a frame for the colourful sky, the engraved wilderness is a captivating representation of the Canadian landscape. At first glance, you might feel like you’re alone in this outdoor setting, but look closely—a nocturnal creature is on the hunt!
LE SAVIEZ-VOUS ?
The aurora borealis appears in many different shapes and colours—it depends on the composition of gasses in the atmosphere, the altitude where the aurora occurs, and the level of solar activity.
Green is the predominant aurora colour (it’s also more readily detected by our eye), and it appears when charged particles collide with oxygen molecules about 100 to 300 kilometres above Earth’s surface. A pink or red lower fringe is produced by nitrogen molecules at an altitude of 100 kilometres, while collisions with oxygen atoms at higher altitudes (250+ km) produce a rare red aurora that is associated with high solar activity.
The reverse design by Canadian artist Alexandra Lefort features a view of the aurora borealis (also known as the northern lights) in the night sky above the Canadian wilderness. While a selective application of colour re-creates the ethereal green, pink and purple hues that form one of nature’s most breathtaking phenomena, the embedded blacklight technology amplifies those colours when activated by the flashlight (included). For a more immersive 360-degree perspective, a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and boreal forest—the home of the Great Grey Owl (Strix nebulosa)—is engraved around the edge, resulting in a more realistic night scene when viewed under the blacklight flashlight, with the towering treetops appearing as imposing shapes that rise up toward the colourful sky. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
À PROPOS DE LA MONNAIE ROYALE CANADIENNE
La Monnaie royale canadienne est connue pour être l'une des monnaies les plus réputées au monde. La succursale d'Ottawa de la Monnaie royale a ouvert ses portes en 1908 et a été rebaptisée Monnaie royale canadienne en 1931 lorsque le contrôle a été transféré au gouvernement canadien. Ses normes élevées d'excellence et de qualité lui ont permis d'être la première raffinerie à fabriquer des pièces d'investissement en or d'une pureté de 9999 en 1982, ainsi que la première à atteindre une pureté d'or de 99999 en 1998.
