Aurora Borealis 2023 $1 1oz Silver Proof Coin

The Coin Company is proud to present Aurora Borealis 2023 $1 1oz Silver Proof Coin by The Perth Mint.

Aurora Borealis is a mesmarising phenomenon where coloured bands of light dance across the canvas of the northern polar sky. Nordic legend imagined that these multi-coloured celestial tendrils were the pathway between the mortal realm and the spirit world. As beautiful a thought as that may be, this marvel has a rather dramatic scientific explanation.

The effect is produced when energized particles from the Sun slam into Earth's upper atmosphere at speeds of over 72 million kilometers per hour! As Earth’s magnetic field redirects the particles toward the poles, the process is transformed into the cinematic atmospheric phenomenon we know as the Aurora Borealis in the North and the Aurora Australis in the South.

Aurora Borealis 2023 $1 1oz Silver Proof Coin has a limited mintage of 2,000
