3341) The Langenburg Event, Canada: The 7th Coin in the "Unexplained Phenomena Coin Series": A $20 (Twenty Dollars - CAN) Rectangular Silver Coin minted by the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) features the Unexplained Langenburg Event: Date/Year of Coin release: 07.09.2024:
The fascination with UFOs and unexplained phenomena is featured on this 2024 $20 Langenburg Event fine silver coin, which transforms as select elements of the full-colour image luminesce with the included black light flashlight.
This is the seventh coin in an ongoing annual series issued by the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM), that highlights some of Canada’s most fascinating tales of unexplained phenomena, from strange sightings to close encounters.
About the Event: Coin #7 brings a close encounter of the second kind:
Some crop circles are harder to dismiss… and that’s what makes Saskatchewan’s most famous UFO/UAP incident so intriguing!
Viewed from the witness’s perspective, the Langenburg Event is the seventh unusual encounter re-told as part of the popular Canada’s Unexplained Phenomena Series of Coins.
On the morning of September 1ˢᵗ, 1974, a farmer was swathing his fields near the town of Langenburg, Saskatchewan, when he noticed five highly polished, steel-like objects at the edge of a slough.
Upon closer look, he noticed these unusual saucer-shaped objects were rotating rapidly and hovering just above the ground.
He continued to observe them until they suddenly rose up, emitting a strange vapour as they silently disappeared into the sky.
But the objects hadn’t vanished without a trace; according to the RCMP incident report, they left behind “five different distinct circles, caused by something exerting what had to be heavy air or exhaust pressure over the highgrass,” which was curious enough to warrant serious attention both locally and worldwide.
The Coin:
Special features:
- Saskatchewan’s most famous UFO/UAP incident.
- Coin #7 presents a view of the Langenburg Event that occurred in 1974, when a farmer came across five saucer-shaped objects in his field.
- One of the most in-demand themes. Collectors love a good UFO story, and all previous coins in the series sold out quickly.
- Landscape orientation. Like 2023’s The Duncan Incident (Coin #6), this 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin features a rectangle shape and a horizontal perspective that shows all five objects, as described by the witness.
- Includes a serialised Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
- Packaging - The coin is encapsulated and presented in a black Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
- Blacklight flashlight included: A blacklight flashlight (included) activates the glowing colour effect on the coin’s Reverse, which presents a view of the five mysterious objects described by the eyewitness.
When the blacklight paint technology is activated, these objects are seen emitting an eerie glow as they fly away, leaving radioactive circular patterns in the field below.
- Instead of “UFO,” scientists and officials have now adopted the acronym “UAP” (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon) as a more encompassing term for unexplainable sights or phenomena.
- The seven coins issued so far are all based on documented accounts of strange encounters, occurrences and sightings across Canada – the mysterious circumstances make for great storytelling, especially through colourful art enhanced with glowing effects.
