You’ve never seen a coin quite like this! The deep waters off Canada’s western shores teem with some of the planet’s most abundant and amazing marine biodiversity. This unique new coin celebrates the otherworldly life that thrives in these mysterious deep water regions, showcasing their bioluminescent beauty on a 99.99% pure silver coin that features specialized backlit technology. Designed by Canadian illustrator Jesse Koreck, your coin features an underwater scene that includes a number of the marine species found in the waters of Canada’s West Coast. The image presents the underwater scene as viewed from a deep water reef, looking up toward the turquoise waters of the surface. The brightly coloured marine life includes a large Atolla jellyfish, several yelloweye rockfish, and a highfin dragonfish swimming around soft and hard corals with other vertebrate and invertebrate organisms along the sea floor. The beautiful scene takes on an entirely new life when illuminated with a black light. Under a black light, the rocky background fades to darkness and the bioluminescence of many of the species is revealed, glowing in blues, greens, and pinks on your coin. Composition: 99.99% pure Silver. Weight (g): 62.67. A backlit coin! This 2-ounce 99.99% pure silver coin features an amazing underwater image that is backlit when ultraviolet light (not included) hits its multiple layers of glow-in-the-dark overprint. The stunning image by Canadian illustrator Jesse Koreck showcases some of the most beautiful species that live at various depths in the deep ocean waters of the Pacific Northwest. With a mintage limited to only 4,000 and a highly desirable reverse design, this coin is sure to sell out quickly. Makes an exquisite gift for underwater enthusiasts young and old and an exceptional addition to any collection featuring nature themes, marine imagery, Canadian wildlife, or technically specialized coins.
