Product Description

FIREWORKS AT THE FALLS – NIAGARA FALLS – 2018 $30 2 oz Pure Silver Glow-in-the-Dark Coin – Royal Canadian Mint

 

A thunderous mix of raw power and beauty, Niagara Falls provides breathtaking views that are the backdrop to countless memories! Your coin offers a sweeping panorama of a great Canadian landmark, the Horseshoe Falls—but there’s a lot more to this coin than meets the eye. When you view your coin in the dark under a black light (included), day turns to night as Canada’s longest running fireworks series lights up the night sky above the colourfully illuminated falls!

Glow-in-the-dark fireworks and Niagara Falls, an iconic image on a 99.99% pure silver coin! Order today!

 

SPECIAL FEATURES

  • INCLUDES A BLACK LIGHT FLASHLIGHT! The artistry of your coin can be appreciated in any light, but viewing it under a black light (included) activates the special technology!
  • A GREAT NATURAL WONDER IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND! Your photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) coin captures the spectacular nature of one of Canada’s most iconic wonders, and a source of pride for many Canadians!
  • TWO DIFFERENT VIEWS ON ONE COIN! Like a lasting photograph, your coin features a full colour application that re-creates a timeless view of the often-photographed Horseshoe Falls in Niagara Falls, Ont. The setting is just as magnificent at night, when the water is illuminated and fireworks add a burst of colour to the night sky—as revealed when your coin is viewed in the dark!
  • A TECHNICAL WONDER, TOO! A proud showcase of our artistic and technical capabilities as the “hidden” night scene is made possible by carefully integrating black light and glow-in-the-dark technology into the colour-over-engraved image!
  • A SOON-TO-BE FAVOURITE! Rendered in a traditional style, your coin ignites a sense of nostalgia among those who have experienced the spellbinding nature of Niagara Falls. And while the art itself makes for a beautiful coin, the seamless integration of glow-in-the-dark technologies and the “hidden” image will intrigue any of your friends and family seeking a truly unique viewing experience!

 

DESIGN

You can almost hear the thunderous roar of rushing water in this reverse design by Tony Bianco. The elevated view provides a sweeping panorama of the Horseshoe Falls in its near entirety. There’s a sense of movement above the falls, where the powerful current of the upper Niagara River and the Cascade Rapids sends water racing over the crescent-shaped cataract. Bordered by Goat Island on the left and the Ontario shore on the right, the world-famous waterfall naturally commands attention as a tremendous volume of water tumbles over the crestline and into the river below, releasing cooling plumes of mist into the air. A full colour application only adds to the picture-perfect setting, where the water is nearly as blue as the sky above. But there is a hidden element to this design: a selective application of photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) and black light technologies allows for a second viewing of the scene, this time at night. A tradition since 1925, the nightly illumination of the falls adds an array of candy-like colours to the water while Canada’s longest running fireworks series lights up the night sky, embodying the pride that many Canadians have for one of our most famous natural wonders. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
