4562) "The Ghost Bride of Montmorency Waterfalls", Canada: "Haunted Canada Coin Series": The Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) has issued a rectangular shaped $20 (Twenty Dollars - CAN) Coin featuring the tale of Mathilde Robin who committed suicide the Waterfalls when her fiance was killed in the Battle of Beaufort in 1759: Date/Year of Coin issue: 2026:

Love eternal: Experience a ghostly encounter at Québec’s Montmorency Falls:

Whether you’re peering over the suspension bridge to view the rushing water from above, or watching it from below, you’ll be mesmerised by the all-season beauty of the Montmorency Falls, located in the Québec City area. 

If you look carefully, you might even catch a glimpse of something—or someone—unexpected in its mist: Mathilde Robin, the grief-stricken bride-to-be who, dressed in her white wedding gown, plunged into those tumbling waters after her beloved was killed nearby in the Battle of Beauport (1759). 

They say her body was never found… but many still claim to hear her cries or see her ghost leap from the top of the falls, as she did in life—she is the Lady in White, who haunts this coin’s reverse when the black light paint technology is activated. 

 The Battle of Beaufort (1759):

The Battle of Beauport, also known as the Battle of Montmorency, fought on 31 July 1759, was an important confrontation between the British and French armed forces during the Seven Years' War (also known as the French and Indian War and the War of Conquest) of the French province of Canada. The attack conducted by the British against the French defense line of Beauport, some 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of Quebec was checked, and the army of General James Wolfe retreated with 443 casualties and losses.

 A new Haunted Canada tale:

The Rectangular Coin:

 

Ghostly imagery

The Reverse of the $20 (Twenty Dollars - CAN) Rectangular shaped Coin presents a colourful view of the Montmorency Falls which is enhanced with black light paint technology that, when activated, unlocks a spooky new layer to this visual story.

- Montmorency Falls (consists of three separate waterfalls, with the Grand Saultseen here) being the largest of the three. It was Samuel de Champlain who gave the falls their name in 1613, in honour of the Duke of Montmorency, Viceroy of New France and Brittany, who never actually saw the falls that still bear his name. 

- The Ghost Story: It is said that Mathilde’s fiancé was one of the more than 60 French soldiers who perished while fighting British forces in the Battle of Beauport (also known as the Battle of Montmorency), which was waged near the falls on July 31, 1759.

- A Black light flashlight included. A black light flashlight (included) activates the glowing colour effect on the coin’s reverse.
