As day transitions to night each day of the year, there is a good chance you’ll catch those fleeting moments of daylight each time as a fiery red event. The 2017 1 oz Proof Canadian Silver Weather Phenomenon Fiery Sky coin brings this relatively unique event to life with beautiful colorization.
The Royal Canadian Mint implement invisible black light effect on these coins. Layering different light technologies to achieve a masterful image. The invisible colored inks are only visible under a black light, giving you the chance to view this coin’s design in three different settings.
Viewed under a black light, you’ll catch the fiery red sunset of a Canadian evening as the sun dips behind the mountain range bordering a lake. The daylight lighting of your typical day reveals a dimmer effect of sunset. Finally, viewed in the dark after a day of standard sun exposure, and the sunset transitions to a moonlit sky!
On the reverse of the 2017 1 oz Proof Canadian Silver Weather Phenomenon Fiery Sky Coin is the image of a sun setting behind the mountain range that borders a tranquil lake, with a small, modest cabin nestled along its shores.
The obverse of each coin bears the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty has appeared on the obverse of Canadian and commonwealth coinage since 1952, and this depiction comes from Susanna Blunt in 2003.
The Royal Canadian Mint is headquartered in Ottawa, the federal capital of Canada, where it was opened in 1908. A second facility was eventually opened in Winnipeg in the 1980s to expand capacity at the mint.
