Comment
The aurora borealis, an extraordinary, unreal and legendary phenomenon.That's the magic of the aurora borealis: if you've ever seen one in the wild, you know that this breathtaking spectacle of shimmering light is indescribable.
On the other hand, if you've never seen one, this captivatingly colorful holographic piece in pure silver might just entice you to venture north and admire one for yourself!
Outside, in the dark, nature's grand spectacle takes on a whole new dimension when the shimmering ribbons of light are accompanied by the howling of wolves. It's one of the most beautiful experiences the wilderness has to offer; a spectacle so mystifying that generations of amateur astronomers, adventurers and nature lovers have ventured into the darkness to admire it, all the while wondering if it's the light that makes the wolves howl.
At night, in the dead of winter, light and sound travel much faster because the air is clear and crisp. When there's more light, wolves tend to be more active. As the pack disperses in search of food, its members call to each other. The clear, crisp air helps amplify the wolves' howls, just as it does with the northern lights. For the privileged viewer, the result is a magnificent wild symphony of color and sound.
Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case adorned with the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a specially designed protective box.
