THE FALCON LAKE INCIDENT 2018 $20 1 OZ GLOW IN THE DARK SILVER COIN

No Series

Designed by artist Joel Kimmel, the reverse is based on Stefan Michalak’s account of what transpired on May 20, 1967, near Falcon Lake, Manitoba. A full application of color re-creates the springtime colors of the place where Michalak saw two objects appear in the midday sky. Based on the witness’s descriptions and sketches, the oval-shaped UFO on the reverse has a steel-like appearance as it hovers above him. Blacklight-activated features complete the story by mimicking the distinctive red glow described by Michalak, while adding a yellow hue to the blast of hot air or gas that knocked the amateur prospector on his back and left him with mysterious burn marks.

• A CLOSE ENCOUNTER: An exhilarating retelling of one of Canada’s many fascinating stories of unexplained phenomena — a story that captures the imagination and seemingly defies explanation!
• AN UNUSUAL SHAPE FOR A STRANGE ENCOUNTER: The coin’s ovoid shape adds a curious twist to this re- telling of a mysterious event—one that fuelled speculation about the origins of the craft and the possibility of extraterrestrial visitors.
• BLACKLIGHT-ACTIVATED GLOW: This is the FIRST shaped coin of its kind to include photoluminescent elements! Included with the coin is a black-light flashlight that activates the glow-in-the-dark features, which add a red and purple glow to the craft (as per Stefan Michalak’s account) and a yellow one to the blast.
