One of Canada’s Most Famous Ghost Stories Comes to Life
The 2026 Canada Haunted Canada Gibraltar Point Lighthouse 1 oz Silver Coin invites collectors to explore one of Canada’s oldest and most enduring ghost stories. As part of the Royal Canadian Mint’s popular Haunted Canada series, this captivating release combines history, legend, and innovative minting technology to create an unforgettable collectible.
Located on the Toronto Islands, Gibraltar Point Lighthouse stands as the oldest surviving lighthouse on the Great Lakes and the second oldest lighthouse in Canada. Built in 1808, the historic beacon guided ships through storms, darkness, and the challenges of the early nineteenth century. However, the lighthouse became famous for more than its maritime service.
According to local legend, the lighthouse’s first keeper, John Paul Radelmüller, mysteriously disappeared during a stormy night in January 1815. Over the years, stories of strange lights, phantom footsteps, and unexplained sightings have helped transform Gibraltar Point Lighthouse into one of Canada’s most famous haunted locations.
Innovative Black-Light Technology Reveals a Hidden Scene
The reverse design, created by artist Patrick Bélanger, captures the eerie atmosphere of the legendary lighthouse. During normal viewing, the coin presents a beautifully detailed and colorized nighttime scene featuring the historic stone tower standing against a dark and stormy sky.
However, the true magic appears when collectors use the included black-light flashlight. Special black-light paint technology activates a hidden effect that reveals a glowing lighthouse and a mysterious shadowy figure wandering the grounds. As a result, the coin transforms before your eyes and brings the centuries-old legend to life in a unique and interactive way.
Furthermore, the coin’s unusual rectangular shape enhances the vertical composition of the lighthouse. This distinctive format makes the design even more dramatic and visually striking.
