If you loved anything holographic when you were a kid, Canada's new coin will certainly have you mesmerized.
The Royal Canadian Mint released the Moon Sky: Raven — 1 oz. Fine Silver Coin that showcases the Raven, which plays a central role in many Inuit legends. It's the Mint's only holographic coin in 2025.
The holographic effect was created by striking 3D embossing micro-textures into the coin's surface during the minting process. According to the Crown corporation, the colours on the hologram may appear iridescent, shifting between hues like blue, green, yellow, or red, depending on the lighting and the angle from which it's viewed.
"The spectrum of colours seemingly shifts depending on the viewing angle, creating the illusion of motion as it illuminates the raven's feathers," reads the description.
The obverse features the effigy of King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
Collectors can buy the coin on the Mint's site for a hefty $144.95.
It has a low mintage of only 7,500 coins, so grab one while supplies last.
