Detailed description
Canadian Ghost Ship - 5 Oz
An exclusive silver coin minted by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2022, weighing 5 Oz (157.6 g) in absolute finest 99.99% Proof quality silver, telling the ghost story of the Canadian Ghost Ship.
The coin's reverse design depicts the coastline and a pair of fishermen ready to set sail in a traditional dory boat. The serene atmosphere of the scene changes when illuminated with a "black light" flashlight (UV light from the UVA spectral region). The bluish sky becomes a dark night sky announcing the arrival of a storm. The fishermen's gazes are directed beyond the rocky outcropping where a ghost ship with burning sails suddenly appears. The motif includes the inscription "CANADA" and the year of issue "2022" The artist's initials "NH" are included.
For over 200 years there have been reports of the eerie apparition of a ghost ship in Chaleur Bay and the Northumberland Strait that separates Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, Nova Scotia. Some describe a flaming fireball. Others have seen a beautiful schooner with three masts and white sails suddenly engulfed in flames. According to one 1900 legend, a group of sailors went to the aid of the ship's crew. As they approached the burning vessel, it suddenly disappeared without a trace. The last sighting was reported in 2008 in the Gulf of Tatamagouche. According to local folklore, a ghost ship is a harbinger of a storm.
The obverse of the coin bears the traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The description of the coin includes the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II", "D.G.REGINA" and the face value "50 DOLLARS". The background is a finely marked structure of Canadian leaves.
The coin comes with a UVA flashlight and is housed in a black gift box with a numbered certificate of authenticity in a limited edition of only 1,500 pieces for the entire world!
