SPECIAL FEATURES
DESIGN
This 25-cent coin is made of nickel-plated steel and has a diameter of 35 millimetres. Its reverse design featuresĀ spectacular lenticular technology that masterfully tells the chilling tale of Vancouverās headless brakeman. In oneĀ image, the dark train tunnel is suddenly illuminated by the bright glow of a lantern as an otherworldly figure emergesĀ before the viewer, dressed in a railway uniform from 1928. Chillingly, the brakeman appears without a head, with twoĀ small, glowing orbs that create the illusion of eyes peering out towards the viewer. When the coin is tilted to the otherĀ side, the light suddenly goes out, leaving the viewer alone in the darkness with this shadowy presence, as the ill-fatedĀ brakeman continues his eternal walk along the train tracks.
