Discover the beauty of the Pingualuit Crater Lake... and then activate the black light technology to find out how it was created!
In the heart of the lunar landscape of the Ungava Peninsula in Nunavik, Quebec, lies a stunning lake with clear blue water that stands out in any aerial view. A geological wonder, the Pingualuit Crater Lake was formed when a meteorite struck the Earth approximately 1.4 million years ago. This colourful 99.99% pure silver coin offers you a breathtaking view of this natural wonder: in normal light, you can see the Crystal Eye of Nunavik gazing into space; in black light, the reverse design transports you back in time and gives you a glimpse of the meteorite that changed the landscape just moments before it struck prehistoric Canada, leaving an almost perfectly circular impact scar.
