This artistic coin captures the magic and natural beauty of the Canada's north, featuring the Northern Lights and an Arctic fox. The coin weighs just over one ounce of pure silver and has a limited mintage of just 8,500.
The design depicts an Arctic fox on its journey across the frozen tundra. A fox leaps toward a rocky, snow-dusted shore across a narrow expanse of water, as the Northern Lights burst in concentric circles across the sky behind it. Mountains rise in the far distance behind the fox, and an iceberg is to the far right side of the image. The Northern Lights, fox, and shoreline are reflected in the water.
The Northern Lights are actually a clash between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter Earth's atmosphere. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres.
Out there, standing in the dark, Earth's great lightshow may take on a whole new dimension if the shimmering ribbons of light are accompanied by the sound of howling wolves. It's one of the most beautiful experiences that the wilderness has to offer; a spectacle so mystifying that generations of sky gazers, adventurers and nature lovers have ventured into the darkness, and long pondered if wolves do indeed howl at the light.
At night, in the dead of winter, light and sound travel much farther. If there's more light, wolves can also be more active; and as their pack disperses in search of food, they will be calling to each other. Their howls will be amplified by the clear, crisp air, just like the Northern Lights—and the result for the lucky viewer is a beautiful symphony of colour and sound.
