In 1908, the Post Office Department of Canada commemorated the 300th anniversary of the founding of Quebec City with a special issue: the Tercentenary Series of Postal Stamps. The Royal Canadian Mint’s tribute to Canada’s postal heritage continues with a reproduction of the 20-cent stamp from that series, complete with colour and “perforated” edges. With serrated edges that mimic a postal stamp’s perforations, this fine silver coin is a numismatic celebration of Canada’s postal and philatelic history, with a special focus on early 20th century stamp designs. The classic look of a bygone era. This coin travels back in time to 1908, to reproduce a stamp issued for the 300th anniversary of the founding of Quebec City. The engraved reproduction of the 1908 stamp is just as detailed as the original – complete with horizontal lines that were the product of intaglio printing, or line engraving, one of the oldest methods of stamp production. The addition of colour over engraving completes this reproduction of the original brown-coloured stamp. Forever preserved in 99.99% pure silver, this collectible is the perfect gift for philatelists and numismatists alike. Packaging: Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint – branded clamshell case lined with a black flock and protected by a black sleeve. THIS ITEM IS GST / HST EXEMPT.

Dubbed the “Montréal Incident, ” this famous UFO sighting has been re-created on the Royal Canadian Mint’s fourth Unexplained Phenomena coin. Its colourful, glow-in-the-dark design transports you to the rooftop pool at the Hôtel Bonaventure Montréal on the night of November 7, 1990, when a mysterious object suddenly appeared in the sky. On the coin, the UFO’s light beams are enhanced with black light paint technology. The Royal Canadian Mint even engineered a Fresnel optical effect that alters that way light reflects on the coin, depending on your viewing angle-tilt the coin and you’ll see! November 7, 1990, 7:20 p. A tourist was enjoying a relaxing swim in the rooftop pool of the Hôtel Bonaventure Montréal, when suddenly, green and yellow light beams emanating from a large, metallic object lit up the night sky. The woman alerted the lifeguard, who called the hotel’s security guard; soon, guests, hotel staff and management had gathered to view this anomalous aerial object, which continued to hover in place. When the light beams suddenly became brighter, police were called in. Baffled, the first officer on the scene contacted his superiors, and before long, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian military and even NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) were reportedly looking into this strange object. Sometime after 10 p. Dense cloud cover obscured the view of the UFO, but photographs taken by a journalist provide compelling physical evidence of this unexplained phenomenon. The reverse design by Canadian graphic design artist Patrick Belanger features the artist’s rendition of an aerial UFO phenomenon that occurred on November 7, 1990 in Montréal, Que. The colourful image shows the event from the perspective of those who spotted the object from the rooftop pool at the Hôtel Bonaventure Montréal. The object’s bright light beams are amplified by black light paint technology and an engineered Fresnel effect, which varies the intensity of reflected light depending on the viewing angle. The obverse features a field pattern and the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. On your coin’s reverse, the UFO’s light beams are enhanced by a Fresnel optical effect-a first for the Royal Canadian Mint! An array of features has been engineered in a way that alters the way the light reflects off the coin, so that it appears to move in, out and across the beams depending on your viewing angle. Black Light Technology: The UFO’s bright light beams colourfully lit up the night sky, and they certainly do on your coin’s reverse. Use a black light flashlight (not included) to activate the embedded black light paint technology, which emphasizes the outline of the UFO and adds an intense, colourful glow to the light beams that are also reflected on the pool surface. Like the 2019 coin that depicted the Shag Harbour Incident, this 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver rectangular coin features a vertical orientation that emphasizes height. It shows the UFO hovering in place above the rooftop pool of the 17-storey building, high above Montréal’s busy downtown core. The obverse’s engraved field pattern is a nod to the reverse design, and to the mysterious light beams that were observed by multiple witnesses on the night of November 7, 1990. Collectors love a good UFO story. Whether you’re fascinated by UFOs, or you just love a colourful coin that tells a great story, this coin is for you. Crafted from 1 oz. Of 99.99% pure silver, this rectangular coin is a fun addition to any collection and makes a great gift. Packaging: Coin comes encapsulated and presented in a wood case with a black beauty box.

Tulip with Venetian Glass Ladybug. Every spring, tulips from Holland bloom in Canada’s capital, which is the home of the world’s largest tulip festival. Not only are the flowers a telltale sign of spring, they are the symbol of friendship between nations. In 1945-46, Holland presented over 100,000 prized tulip bulbs to Canada in thanks for Canada welcoming Holland’s Crown Princess and her daughters in 1940, and for Canadian soldiers’ efforts to liberate Holland during the Second World War. In 1940, Queen Wilhelmina sent Crown Princess Juliana out of harm’s way to Canada. On 19 January 1943, the only royal baby ever born in North America was born in a room at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The birth was greeted with hope and strengthened the ties of friendship between Canadians and the Dutch. If you’re lucky, you may spot a pretty, brightly-coloured ladybug inhabiting a vibrant tulip in the spring. Both are warmly welcomed by gardeners as harbingers of spring. The two also share a unique relationship. The ladybug uses the tulip as shelter from predators and as a source of sustenance; much like how Canada was to the Dutch Princesses. In return, the ladybug-one of nature’s most effective pesticides-keeps garden plants and flowers healthy throughout the growing season.
