Explore the Royal Canadian Mint's stunning holographic coin featuring the Raven, blending Inuit legend with cutting-edge minting technology. Discover its unique colour-changing effect.
Eh, wanna see somethin' cool, eh? The Royal Canadian Mint just dropped a coin that's got everyone talkin'. It's got holograms, it's Canadian, and it changes colours. What's not to love?
Raven's Delight: A Holographic Masterpiece
This ain't your grandma's spare change. The 'Moon Sky: Raven' coin is a one-ounce fine silver piece featuring the Raven, a big deal in Inuit legends. And guess what? It's got a hologram! This is the Mint's only holographic coin for 2025, making it a real collector's item.
Design That Tells a Story
Bronson Jacque, an artist from Nunatsiavut, designed the coin. He put a fresh spin on the traditional Raven figure. You've got a realistic raven chillin' on a branch with some trees, which represents humans grounded in themselves. Then, the holographic raven soars into the sky, realizing it's Raven, the Creator of Life. Deep, right?
Jacque says the holographic raven's wings are vibrant and entrancing, just like the legends passed down through generations. It's like nurturing creativity, which births boundless inner worlds. Whoa.
How Does the Hologram Work?
So, how does this colour-changing magic happen? The Mint strikes 3D embossing micro-textures into the coin's surface. Depending on the light and the angle you're lookin' at it from, the colours shift between blue, green, yellow, or red. It's like the raven's feathers are illuminated with motion.
Where Can You Snag One?
You can grab this beauty on the Mint's site for $144.95 CAD. If you're a bit strapped for cash, they've got installment plans. But here's the catch: they're only minting 7,500 of these coins, so you gotta act fast.
XRPQ ETF: A Different Kind of Coin in Canada
Now, shifting gears a bit, Canada's also makin' waves in the digital asset world. The 3iQ XRP ETF (XRPQ) became Canada’s largest XRP-focused exchange-traded fund in just three days after launch. This thing raked in C$32 million in assets real quick. It shows there's a real appetite for regulated crypto exposure up here.
Final Thoughts: Canada's Coin Game is Strong, Eh?
From holographic ravens to crypto ETFs, Canada's killin' it in the coin game. Whether you're into traditional collectibles or the latest digital assets, there's somethin' for everyone. So keep your eyes peeled and your wallets ready, because you never know what cool new coin is gonna drop next, eh?
