Royal Canadian Mint have created second coin in the A Story of the Northern Lights series of beautiful hologram coins!

That is the magic of the northern lights, and if you’ve ever experienced them firsthand, you know this incredible phenomenon is really beyond words; shimmering waves of light that can leave you breathless. And if you’ve never seen the northern lights, the captivating colours on this pure silver hologram coin might just inspire you to venture north to watch them “live.”

Out there, standing in the dark, Earth’s great lightshow may take on a whole new dimension if the shimmering ribbons of light are accompanied by the sound of howling wolves. It’s one of the most hauntingly beautiful experiences that the wilderness has to offer; a spectacle so mystifying that generations of sky gazers, adventurers and nature lovers have ventured into the darkness, and long pondered if wolves do indeed howl at the light.

At night, in the dead of winter, light and sound travel much farther, aided by the clear, crisp air. If there’s more light, wolves can also be more active; and as their pack disperses in search of food, they will be calling to each other. Their howls will be amplified by the clear, crisp air, just like the northern lights; and the result for the lucky viewer is a hauntingly beautiful symphony of colour and sound.

Coin’s pure silver composition beautifully enhances the wintry scene and showcases the colour hologram to its best effect.

You will adore this coin for its magical representation of the northern lights. It’s a stunning gift that will enthrall sky gazers, nature lovers, art lovers and travellers who have experienced the natural beauty of the North.

Designed by Canadian artist Nathalie Bertin, coin depicts a breathtaking design of northern lights weaving across a winter night sky high above the boreal forest. A lone wolf stands howling in the foreground, the ribbons of light seeming to emerge from its muzzle in tribute to the awesome symphony of colour and sound that results when two of nature’s most mystifying phenomena come together.
