Description
Being placed well within
the visible zone of the aurora borealis, many regions of Canada are perfectly
positioned to enjoy an amazing view of the northern lights. Vast regions with little human-made light
improve the aurora's visibility and intensity, offering a feast for the eyes. As Canadians settle in for the long, cold
winter with its added hours of darkness, the northern lights offer a good
reason to get outside and reconnect with our northern landscape. Like much of Canada's wilderness, the aurora
borealis that we enjoy from sea to sea to sea is powerful, elusive, and
humbling - making the companionable warmth of human community even more
precious.

Design:
This coin features an
evocative image of an Arctic fox on its journey across the frozen tundra. As the fox leaps from the left side of the
image toward a rocky, snow-dusted shore across a narrow expanse of water, the
stunning Northern Lights burst forth in concentric circles across the sky behind
it. It is as though the scene were set
directly below the magnetic North Pole. While
stylized icy mountains rise in the far distance behind and to the left of the
fox, a vast iceberg just from the far right side of the image provides
beautiful balance to the scene. The
Northern Lights, fox, and shoreline are reflected in the water, doubling the
image's impact. Royal Canadian Mint
engravers have used exceptional technique in engraving and finishing, conveying
the energy and power of the scene in pure silver.
Packaging:
Each coin is
encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell protected
by a custom beauty box.
