1.4 MILLION years ago, a meteorite smashed into what is now the Ungava Peninsula, in Nunavik, Quebec, Canada. The result? A crater that, today, is filled with some of the most transparent and fresh lake waters in the world! Pingualuit Crater Lake is a breath-taking, almost perfectly circular, remnant of an incredible prehistoric event - and it is celebrated in stunning style on this massive official Canadian collector coin.
A huge 65.25 in diameter, this five ounce, 99.99% pure silver issue depicts the crater lake from space, making for an impressive collectable. However, shine the included black light torch onto the coin and, suddenly, you'll see prehistoric Canada, with the incoming meteorite about to strike!!! BOOM!!!
