Born on the surface of the sun, electrically charged particles enter Earth’s atmosphere and, if conditions are favourable, create swaying folds of colour across the polar night sky. The lights that appear in the northern hemisphere are known as the Aurora Borealis. The term ‘Aurora’ was first used by Galileo Galilee to refer to the phenomenon, in homage to the Roman goddess of the dawn. ‘Borealis’ is derived from the Greek word for ‘wind’, as well as the Latin for ‘north’, indicating the dynamic nature of these enchanting lights that spiral, flicker, and dance across the northern polar skies.

Spectacularly struck to Proof quality, the 2023 $100 Aurora Borealis 1oz Gold Proof Coin portrays the rarest of the Northern Light’s colours with out-of-this-world Digital Colour minting! Vivid hues of pink and red, as well as blue and green, streak across the flan and are artfully reflected in the lake below. The effect is enhanced by the 
shimmering 99.99% GOLD that forms the mountains and trees of the Scandinavian wilderness in stunning relief.
