Pure Silver Coin – Fire Rainbow: Sky Wonders 3-Coin Series. A rainbow is welcome after any rainstorm, but in Canada, a rarer and more exciting sight is a fire rainbow-like the one featured here on your coin. Amplified by a blacklight-activated effect, this rainbow-coloured’cloud’ kicks off a new series of technology-enhanced coins that puts unusual sky phenomena within easy reach. FIRST COIN, NEW SERIES! The fire rainbow is the first of three of Canada’s Sky Wonders, the naturally occurring optical illusions that are a rare occurrence in our skies. The next two coins in the 3-coin series include. Steve’ (expected availability of August 2019). Light Pillars (expected availability of October 2019). When viewed under UV light, the rainbow colours appear more vivid than ever. The partial use of colour keeps the focus on the phenomenon, while the landscape is brought to life by fine engraving. LOOK DOWN, NOT UP! The design makes you feel like you are outside looking up at the sky, but the experience is sized to fit in the palm of your hand. DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY EVERY TIME! All three coins feature a different lighting effect that best highlights each sky phenomenon. INCLUDES A BLACK LIGHT FLASHLIGHT! The artistry of your coin can be appreciated in any light, but viewing it under a black light (included) activates the special technology! Limited to 5,000 coins worldwide. 99.99% PURE SILVER! Your coin is crafted from one ounce of 99.99% pure silver. Designed by Tony Bianco, your coin features an engraved lakeside setting on a mid-summer day. Rolling hills rise up towards the colour portion of the design, where the sun hangs high in the blue-coloured sky. Sunlight passing though the cirrus clouds produces a spectrum-coloured band known as a fire rainbow, which is enhanced by a blacklight-activated effect. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box. Composition 99.99% pure silver. Weight (g) 31.39. Face value 20 dollars. Artist Tony Bianco (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse).
