The glow of a firefly on a hot summer night is a phenomenon that seems mysterious, elusive and almost magical, and often evokes childhood memories of trying to catch one by a lake or while camping in a forest. The glow effect is in full colour with variable intensity, creating a subdued glow from the moon on the water, a more pronounced glow from the fire in the background, and an intense glow from the fireflies that appear in the foreground. 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 luminescent fireflies at a campsite! With an extremely low mintage of just 4,000 pieces, this coin is both a beautiful work of luminescent art and a high quality limited edition collectible. The entire reverse image by Canadian artist Ervin Molnar combines rich colours and detailed engraving to recreate the beauty of a moonlit night in the Canadian wilderness. 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; 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.

Before dawn on the morning of January 1, 1970, a nurse at a hospital in Duncan, B. Opened the curtain in a patient’s room. What she saw next is depicted on the Royal Canadian Mint’s sixth Canada’s Unexplained Phenomena coin. The nurse described seeing a large saucer-shaped, glass-domed craft. Inside the object, which was estimated to be 50 feet (15 meters) in diameter and illuminated from the bottom, two male-like figures clad in dark cloth appeared to be standing in front of a large panel. Absorbed by the sight, the nurse studied both the craft and its occupants, until one of them reached down to grab hold of what appeared to be a lever. And the object quickly moved out of sight. This is the sixth coin in a popular series that brings you some of Canada’s most fascinating tales of unexplained phenomena, from strange sightings to close encounters. Includes a black light flashlight that activates the technology embedded on the coin’s reverse. In normal lighting conditions, the color over engraved reverse presents a view of the mysterious craft, but the bright lights are amplified when the black light paint technology is activated. On the coin’s obverse, the wormhole like pattern is a nod to the UFO theme on the reverse.
