Moonlight Fireflies
The entire reverse image combines rich colours and detailed engraving to recreate the beauty of a moonlit night in the Canadian wilderness. Twilight brings tranquility to the forest, where a canoe has brought campers to rest along the shore for the night. There is an added element of magic in the warm night air as fireflies take flight and intermittently light up thedarkness. In the foregrou nd, two fireflies can be viewed up close and in great detail, with colour recreating their delicate wings and markings along their abdomen. But the full effect of the coin is best viewed in the dark after placing it in a light source for 30 to 60 seconds; photo - luminescent technology transports the viewer into the coin’s campsite by recreating the only sources of light: the enchanting spark of light emitted by the fireflies, along with the campfire’s amber flames and the bright full moon that are reflec ted on thestill surface of the water.
