A GREAT CANADIAN COIN GIFT! A black light-activated colour reveal will have you seeing ghosts too!
For more than 200 years, there have been reports of an eerie apparition in Chaleur Bay and in the Northumberland Strait. The perfect gift for someone who enjoys a good ghost story. A BLACK LIGHT-ACTIVATED COLOUR REVEAL. Innovative Colour Reveal technology makes it possible to witness a "ghostly" apparition on this pure silver coin. BLACK LIGHT FLASHLIGHT INCLUDED WITH EACH COIN.
The engraved scene is stunning in any light, but the true story unfolds when you view your coin's reverse under a black light (included), which will activate the technology. A FUN EXPLORATION OF FOLKLORE.
Travel to Atlantic Canada to uncover one of Canada's most famous ghost stories. Is it an optical illusion?
It's a fascinating story that culminates with an exciting reveal on this coin! You may have met a ghost bride (2014), a headless brakeman (2015) and the ghost of Bell Island (2016), or had a haunting experience at an Ottawa hostel (2019). But this ghost story has never been featured on a coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint-until now. The perfect gift for someone who enjoys a good ghost story, and an opportunity to show young collectors how fun this hobby can be! Limited to 1,500 coins worldwide.
Regardless of special packaging, the Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins. The reverse design by Canadian artist Neil Hamelin travels to the shores of Atlantic Canada, where two local sailors push a dory into the rough surf. The reverse includes the words "CANADA" and "2022". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The viewer is sure of one fact, and that's the sighting.
That's where the story takes root! The unknown makes for a great mystery! Some have theorized that the apparition is St. Some have suggested it is caused by an atmospheric discharge. Others think it could be caused by a phosphorus discharge from the depths of Chaleur Bay, like the "will o' the wisp" phenomenon, where a flame-like glow is seen at night in marshes and swampy areas.
