The fascination with UFOs and unexplained phenomena is featured on this 2022 $20 Yukon Encounter fine silver coin, which transforms as select elements of the full-colour image luminesce with the included black light flashlight.
This is the fifth coin in an ongoing annual series issued bythe Royal Canadian Mint (RCM).
On the night of 11.12.1996, at least 31 people in four different areas of the Yukon reported seeing a UFO in the sky.
The bright lights described by the witnesses have been re-created on this rectangular coin when viewed under natural light, but greater details—of a circular craft as envisioned by artist Neil Hamelin—are revealed once one turn on the included black light.
About the Event:
On 11.12.1996 an incredible UFO event took place along a 216-kilometre stretch of the Klondike Highway in the Yukon Territory.
The sightings occurred in three major areas along the highway - Fox Lake, the village of Carmacks, and the village of Pelly Crossing, with a total of 31 witnesses reporting to have seen it.
All the witnesses indicated that the UFO was extremely large with a long row of lights, comparing it in size to a football stadium. Twenty-two of the witnesses provided detailed accounts, and 14 even provided drawings of the UFO.
The Coin:
The colourful image shows the event from the perspective of those who spotted the object.
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.
