This is the fourth coin in an ongoing annual series, title "Unexplained Phenomena" released by the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM).
Called the “Montréal Incident,” this famous UFO sighting is presented as a colourful, glow-in-the-dark design which transports the viewer to the rooftop pool at the Hôtel Bonaventure Montréal on the night of 07.11.1990, when a mysterious object suddenly appeared in the sky.
The incident:
At 7:20 p.m., a tourist was enjoying a relaxing swim in the rooftop pool of the Hôtel Bonaventure Montréal, when suddenly, green and yellow light beams emanating from a large, metallic object lit up the night sky.
The woman alerted the lifeguard, who called the hotel’s security guard; soon, guests, hotel staff and management had gathered to view this anomalous aerial object, which continued to hover in place.
When the light beams suddenly became brighter, police were called in.
Baffled, the first officer on the scene contacted his superiors, and before long, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian military and even NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) were reportedly looking into this strange object.
Sometime after 10 p.m., dense cloud cover obscured the view of the UFO, but photographs taken by a journalist provide compelling physical evidence of this unexplained phenomenon.
The Coin:
On the Reverse of the $20 (Twenty Dollars - CAN) Rectangular Silver Coin, are seen the UFO lights hovering over the Hôtel Bonaventure Montréal.
The colourful image shows the event from the perspective of those who spotted the object from the rooftop pool at the Hôtel Bonaventure Montréal.
The object’s bright light beams are amplified by black light paint technology, which is activated by the flashlight that comes with the coin and an engineered Fresnel effect, which varies the intensity of reflected light on the Coin depending on the viewing angle.
On the Obverse of the $20 (Twenty Dollars - CAN) Rectangular Silver coin is featured a field pattern and an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.
