On the cold, snowy night of December 11th 1996, thirty-one people were recorded to have seen a giant UFO in the Canadian territory of Yukon. Let’s take a look inside Chris Rutkowski and Geoff Dittman’s book which details the accounts of the witnesses’ experiences…

Two individuals described the sighting as a group of bright lights immersed in rectangular windows. Another two witnesses experienced a similar sighting just ten miles apart, describing the scene above the Klondike Highway as a “cluster of moving stars”.

Designing an EXTRATERRESTRIAL coin

Today, The Royal Canadian Mint are eager to bring this experience to coinage and continue their sell-out UFO-themed series. Struck from 1oz of .999 Silver with a stunning Proof finish, you can feel like you are truly a witness to this extraordinary sighting with Neil Hamelin’s imaginative design!

Black Light Technology

Your coin is the first in the series to buck the glow-in-in-the-dark trend and include brand-new black light technology! Housed in official Royal Canadian Mint packaging, a black flashlight will also be included to unlock your coin’s true potential.

When this black flashlight is shone onto the already impressive reverse design, it will activate the technology within the coin to reveal an even more colourful reimagining that only you can see! This is the key to unlocking the hidden secrets of the Canadian sky…

Will the SELL-OUT Series continue? JUST 50 Available

This Yukon Encounter 1oz Silver coin is the fifth in the Royal Canadian Mint’s UFO themed series. It follows its counterpart coins inspired by the Montréal Incident, the Clarenville Event and the Falcon Lake Incident.

What’s more, considering that all the previous UFO-themed coins had a mintage of 4,000 – 5,000 and ALL SOLD OUT, you can see how our small allocation won’t satisfy collector demand…

Low Mintage – SOLD OUT at the Mint!

This year the edition limit is more important than ever before, because it matches the edition limit of the SOLD OUT 2021 and 2022 sets – JUST 3,000.

This set has also already sold out at the Royal Canadian Mint, making it even harder to secure.

There is no doubt that there won’t be enough to satisfy demand. Particularly when you learn the theme of this new issue…

35th Anniversary of the Silver Maple Leaf

This year’s Silver Maple Leaf set celebrates the 35th Anniversary of the Silver Maple Leaf. Each coin has been especially dual dated to mark this momentous anniversary.

In fact, the renowned ‘four nines’ silver that is unique to the Royal Canadian Mint, makes the Maple Leaf one of the finest bullion coins in the world. And in 2023, we mark its 35th anniversary.

The last set featuring Queen Elizabeth II

Finally, this could also be the last ever Silver Maple Leaf Set to feature Queen Elizabeth II. Given the obverse of the Maple Leaf has always featured Her Majesty’s iconic effigy, this milestone moment is likely to increase collector demand.

Not only are the edition limit and theme enough, but the set includes stunning features to add to the collectability and desirability:

  • The largest piece in the set, the Silver 1oz, has been adorned with 35 small Maple Leaves around the edge, alongside perfect rose-gold plating.
  • Each coin is struck from 99.99% Pure Silver to a spectacular reverse proof finish that ensures the engraved relief stands out.

When you combine the 35th Anniversary alongside the special features and the incredibly low edition limit, it’s clear to see why this set could be the most sought-after yet.
