Canada: 2017 $25 View of Canada from Space Glow in Dark Concave Silver Coin

Finish: Proof

Mintage: 8500

Composition: 99.9% Silver

Weight(grams): 30.75

Design: The coin combines colour with glow-in-the-dark effects to recreate a breathtaking view of Earth from space. The partial view of the Western Hemisphere places the focus on North America—specifically Canada—while the application of colour captures the nuances that characterize the different regions, and the different blues that mark the ocean depth. Within the outer band that frames the field, the 25th anniversary of Dr. Roberta Bondar's historic space mission is commemorated by the number "25" and a miniature depiction of the space shuttle Discovery, as it appeared on Dr. Bondar's personal mission crest.

Packaging: The coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Maroon clamshell case. It is protected by a black box.
