2019 Canadian $20 Lights of Parliament Hill - 1 oz Fine Silver Coin

2019 Canadian $20 Lights of Parliament Hill - 1 oz Fine Silver Coin

Northern Lights on Parliament Hill is a magical sound and light show that attracts over 200,000 spectators in Ottawa each year. The imagery projected onto the Peace Tower in Ottawa is a dream-like voyage through the wonders of Canadian culture and history that you'll want to keep with you. The Royal Canadian Mint has created a coin to eternalize this enchanted moment. The design features the unique Colour Reveal technology, a Royal Canadian Mint first! Using a black light to highlight the coin, the Peace Tower glows with Northern Lights in the dark, just like Parliament Hill at night!

Features

EXCLUSIVE TO THE SET! Canada's classic circulation coins for 2019 are all featured here, along with a special edition 50-cent coin that re-imagines these familiar images in a fun new way! This 50-cent coin is a set exclusive — it is only available as part of this circulation collection.
THREE TECHNOLOGIES, ONE COIN! The engraved 50-cent coin features bright colours and a creative art style that speaks to the imagination, no matter the age. It's a sight to see in daylight, but hold the coin under a light for up to 60 seconds and step into darkness to view a night scene.
SPECIAL PACKAGING! These coins are packaged together in a special maple leaf-themed presentation card that's ready for display. Simply fold the support flaps on the back, and the card becomes an easel for displaying your very own pieces of Canadian coin art.
A DIFFERENT TAKE! The 50-cent design is an extraordinary group portrait of five Canadian circulation “superstars” — the icons that appear on our everyday coins. It is an opportunity to have them together on a single coin that is a warm-hearted celebration of Canada.
ONE OF EVERY DENOMINATION! The perfect starter set for new collectors of all ages—especially the young and young-at-heart! This set features one of every classic Canadian circulation coin for 2019: $2, $1, 25-cent, 10-cent and 5-cent coins.
NONE OF THESE COINS HAVE BEEN CIRCULATED! They were intended for circulation; instead, these five denominations were taken from the press at our Winnipeg facility and placed in this set.

Design

Your coin's design is based on a photograph by Matt Eggink of Parliament Hill's Peace Tower and features a unique Colour Reveal that lights up by use of a black light. These colours are based on the projections on the Peace Tower in the final section of Northern Lights, the sound and light show on Parliament Hill. The obverse design features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll by Susanna Blunt.

Packaging

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
