2019 $3 Celebrating Canadian Fun & Festivities - Aurora Borealis Silver (No Tax)

This 2019 $3 fine silver coin features the magic of our northern skies.  It appears as a faint ribbon of colour in the night. Slowly, it strengthens and expands before bending and arching its way across the cloudless sky, like a dancing pathway to another world. The aurora borealis—or Northern Lights—is one of nature’s most wondrous light shows. And Canada offers a front-row seat to this curtain of glowing colours, which lights up our skies and our spirits during the colder months of the year

The reverse design by Steve Hepburn captures the wonder of seeing the aurora borealis in Canada. In the foreground, a young boy sits on his father’s shoulders as they look up at the night sky, where the glowing green bands of the Aurora Borealis dance above the towering evergreens. The image is framed by stylized icons that represent popular outdoor activities and sights in Canada
