STORMY NIGHT Natures Light Show Glow in the Dark 5 Oz Silver Coin 50$ Canada 2018

The reverse of the coin is designed by Derek Wicks and captures the mesmerizing nature and raw intensity of a thunderstorm, as seen from a fox's perspective. For a more immersive viewing experience, the concave shape presents a tunnel-like view of the nighttime storm from inside an underground burrow. Here, the luminous shine of the coin's silver surface mimics the effect of flash illumination across the entrance of the fox den, which is lined with an engraved tangle of underground roots and rocks. The reactions of four colourful fox cubs mirror our own mixed sense of awe and apprehension: three curious cubs have their backs turned to the viewer as they watch a forked lightning bolt light up the deep hued sky, while a fourth seemingly shrinks away from the scene. The integrated use of glow-in-the-dark technology also allows for an alternate view of this stormy night — this time viewed in the dark, where photoluminescence stands in for the lightning's electrified glow. On top of the reverse, the inscription: "CANADA" – the issuing country. On the bottom, the inscriptions: "50 DOLLARS" – the face value and "2018" – the year of issue. The obverse depicts the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt and the inscriptions: "ELIZABETH II" – the name of the Queen and "D.G. REGINA" – Dei Gratia Regina.
