Marked by curving pathways and flowerbeds filled with colourful favourites, the magnificent Halifax Public Gardens holds the distinction of being one of the few surviving Victorian gardens in Canada. Its main gates inspired the white bronze gate on the coin, where the same elaborate scrollwork sets a beautiful boundary between our world and the depiction of the bandstand that is at the heart of this Haligonian oasis. SECOND COIN IN SERIES! First coin Gate to Enchanted Garden still available, order today! A WORLD OF BEAUTY! Celebrate the beauty of Canada’s gardens! This dimensional design combines two of the most well-known (and beloved) features of the Halifax Public Gardens: its main gate, and the bandstand that is at the centre of this public space. Fashioned from white bronze, the gate on the reverse captures the elaborate, antique artistry of the Gardens’ often-photographed wrought iron gates! Extensive research and development were necessary to determine just the right amount of metal to achieve the gate’s intricate appearance without sacrificing durability-and without obscuring your view of the garden behind it! Adding to the authenticity of it all, the gate on the reverse is carefully painted to give it an appropriately aged look-like metalwork that has been exposed to time and the elements.

Imagine driving on a snowy highway at night and seeing a row of lights in the sky… And you suddenly realize it’s a giant UFO! This is the scene depicted on the Royal Canadian Mint’s fifth Canada’s Unexplained Phenomena coin, which tells the story of a UFO encounter in the Yukon. On the night of December 11, 1996, at least 31 people in four different areas reported seeing a UFO in the sky. The bright lights described by the witnesses have been re-created on this rectangular coin’s reverse, where a more complete picture of the giant UFO comes into view when the black light paint technology is activated. December 11, 1996 : It was a clear and cloudless night when a motorist driving along Fox Lake (Kwätän’aya) on the Yukon’s Klondike Highway noticed a bright and unusual light. As he got closer, he observed a group of rectangular lights moving east in the sky. About a half-hour later, motorists in two separate cars also spotted a row of lights and got out of their car to get a better look. Within minutes, the UFO was almost directly above one of the witnesses, who described a large white beam coming from the centre of an object the size of a football stadium! Two more witnesses travelling from the other direction provided a similar description (with additional flashing lights), while a sixth witness saw multicoloured lights. Earlier that evening, four people driving north towards Carmacks had observed a UFO with three flashing orange lights and several small white lights arranged in an elliptical pattern-a description similar to the one provided by a family of five who viewed the UFO from their house in Carmacks. Near the village of Pelly Crossing, a trapper described seeing the same row of lights, as well as a luminescent green beam and two more rotating ones. Four women observed the UFO while taking a break from classes at the community college, and two more local witnesses compared the length of its lights to the width of the Big Dipper. And finally, in the village of Mayo, the strange lights were observed by at least eight more witnesses, including out-of-town hotel guests and several teenagers who similarly described the mysterious object as being very large. What was it they saw? All we know is that a large UFO, one of the largest ever reported, was seen by multiple witnesses that night, and all within a short timespan. One of the motorists who spotted the UFO at Fox Lake attempted to relay what he had seen, but when he pulled out his two-way radio, he could only get static. Another witness noticed that her interior vehicle lights went dim and her music slowed when the lights appeared in the sky. Fox Lake’s name in the Dän K’e (Southern Tutchone) language is Kwätän’aya, and it is located within the Ta’an Kwäch’än and Kwanlin Dün Traditional Territories. According to reports of the 1996 incident, the UFO would have travelled north from Fox Lake and into other territories. None of the 31 witnesses reported hearing any sounds emitted by the UFO. The reverse design by Canadian artist Neil Hamelin features the artist’s rendition of a 1996 UFO encounter on the Yukon’s Klondike Highway, near Fox Lake (Kwätän’aya). In this wintry scene, two motorists have pulled over to observe the mysterious lights in the night sky. The lights are amplified by black light paint technology; when activated, the effect provides a more complete picture of the huge UFO that was spotted in four different areas on the night of December 11, 1996. The obverse features a wormhole background and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box. Black light NOT included. THIS ITEM IS GST / HST EXEMPT.

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 this coin’s colour-over-engraved reverse, where the UFO glows brighter when viewed under a black light (NOT included) The nurse described seeing a large saucer-shaped craft with a glass-like dome top. Inside the object, which was estimated to be 50 feet (15 metres) 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, and soon noticed one of the figures slowly turning to face in her direction. The other figure then reached down to grab hold of a lever, and the tilted craft began to spin in a counter-clockwise direction. She called over another nurse to witness the hovering object just as it silently, and swiftly, moved away, though its lights were still visible to two more witnesses who joined them at the window. Nobody does it like the Royal Canadian Mint! 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. The reverse design by Canadian artist Patrick Bélanger depicts the Duncan Incident that occurred before dawn on the morning of January 1, 1970. Parting the curtains, a nurse is shocked to see a big, brightly illuminated craft in the sky, where it is close enough for her to view two occupants standing inside the domed portion. The mysterious object’s colourful lights are amplified when the embedded black light paint technology is activated. The obverse features a wormhole background and the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The obverse also bears a special marking that includes four pearls symbolizing the four effigies that have graced Canadian coins and the double date of her reign. The coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box. Black light NOT included. THIS ITEM IS GST / HST EXEMPT.
