Product Overview
Glows in the Dark Design
- Photo-luminescent elements recreate the magic of seeing a firefly on a moonlit night in the Canadian wilderness.
- Detailed engraving and the use of colour on the entire reverse create a dazzling image, while Royal Canadian Mint-first, multi-coloured, glow-in-the-dark technology with variable intensity adds a beautiful glow to the moon, the fire and the fireflies.
- The effect occurs after placing the coin in a light source for 30 to 60 seconds, then bringing it into the dark to experience the sight of fireflies at a campsite – even visible through the capsule!
- Crafted from 99.99% pure silver with a limited mintage of 4,000 worldwide.
- Makes the perfect gift for a nature lover, or for those who will revel in the innovative use of glow-in-the-dark technology.
Twilight brings tranquility to the forest, where a canoe has brought campers to rest along the shore for the night. There is an added element of magic in the warm night air as fireflies take flight and intermittently light up the darkness. In the foreground, two fireflies can be viewed up close and in great detail, with colour recreating their delicate wings and markings along their abdomen. But the full effect of the coin is best viewed in the dark after placing it in a light source for 30 to 60 seconds; photo-luminescent technology transports the viewer into the coin’s campsite by recreating the only sources of light: the enchanting spark of light emitted by the fireflies, along with the campfire’s amber flames and the bright full moon that are reflected on the still surface of the water.
