2023 Canada Pingualuit Crater Crystal Eye of Nunavik 5oz Silver Proof Coin

In the heart of the lunar-esque landscape of the Ungava Peninsula, in Nunavik, Quebec, lies a breathtaking lake with pure blue waters that stand out in any aerial view.
A geological marvel, Pingualuit Crater Lake was created when a meteorite struck the earth approximately 1.4 million years ago. This colourful 99.99% pure silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint offers you an awe-inspiring view of the natural wonder: under normal light, you see the Crystal Eye of Nunavik peering out into space; under a blacklight, the reverse design whisks you back in time for a view of the landscape-altering meteorite, mere moments before it slammed into prehistoric Canada and left an almost perfectly circular impact scar.

Enjoy a view of the Crystal Eye—and the meteorite that created it! The coin’s reverse features a colourful space view of Pingualuit Crater Lake. A second image—one that only reveals itself under a blacklight—whisks you back in time, for a view of the meteorite on its collision course and directly above the eventual impact site.

 Crafted in 99.99% pure silver.
 Comes with a black light flashlight: Shine the light on the coin’s reverse to activate the embedded paint technology, and watch as the meteorite that created Pingualuit Crater Lake suddenly appears!
 Already colourful, the space setting includes a Moon view and a glimpse of the Milky Way; these elements, as well as Earth’s edge and the lake below, glow when the black light technology is activated.
 Perfect collectible or gift for astronomers, sky gazers, geologists and explorers.
 Only 2,500 coins are available to collectors worldwide.
