2015 Canadian 25-Cent Haunted Canada: Brakeman Coloured Lenticular Coin & Stamp Set
Ghosts, unexplained events and hauntings… there is no shortage of these stories from across Canada. Many have been told and retold so often that fact and fiction are nearly indistinguishable from one another. Canadians of all ages delight in sharing these tales of life and death, of love and tragedy, and of duty and devotion—including the haunting story of the headless brakeman, as retold by this second coin in the Haunted Canada series of lenticular coins.
A beautiful gift for those who love both ghost stories and tragic love stories, and a great addition to any specialty coin collection.
Features
The second in the Royal Canadian Mint's Haunted Canada series of coins, which brings to life some of Canada's legendary ghost stories.
The lenticular design retells the chilling tale of Vancouver's headless brakeman; by tilting the coin from side to side, the ghostly apparition of the brakeman is seen in great detail before the light from the lantern suddenly goes out, leaving the viewer alone in the dark train tunnel with this eerie, shadowy presence.
A thrilling and original gift for those who enjoy a good ghost story.
An affordable way to introduce a young person to the excitement of coin collecting.
Design
Its reverse design features spectacular lenticular technology that masterfully tells the chilling tale of Vancouver's headless brakeman. In one image, the dark train tunnel is suddenly illuminated by the bright glow of a lantern as an otherworldly figure emerges before the viewer, dressed in a railway uniform from 1928. Chillingly, the brakeman appears without a head, with two small, glowing orbs that create the illusion of eyes peering out towards the viewer. When the coin is tilted to the other side, the light suddenly goes out, leaving the viewer alone in the darkness with this shadowy presence, as the ill-fated brakeman continues his eternal walk along the train tracks.
Packaging
Coin is encapsulated and presented in protective plastic.
