Canada: 2024 $20 Canada's Unexplained Phenomenon: The Langenburg Event 1 oz Pure Silver Glow-in-the-dark Coin

Design: The reverse design by Steve Hepburn presents the artist’s rendition of the well-documented Langenburg Event, which occurred on the morning of September 1, 1974. The incident is presented from the witness’s perspective: seated on his now-stalled swather with his back to the viewer, the farmer looks on as five saucer-shaped objects lift off after hovering above the tall grass. The vapour emitted by these objects, as well as the radioactive material deposited on the circular patterns that formed beneath them, are visible when the blacklight paint technology is activated. The obverse features a radial pattern behind the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
