Interesting fact

The 2017 Canadian $10 Silver Aurora Borealis coin features a unique color-shifting design that changes depending on the angle of light. The coin's reverse, designed by Canadian artist Alexandra Lefort, features a stylized image of the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, in shades of blue, green, and purple. The color-shifting effect is achieved through the use of a special technology that applies a thin layer of metallic particles to the coin's surface. This results in a mesmerizing and dynamic visual effect that is sure to captivate coin collectors and enthusiasts alike.
