| Beschrijving keerzijde | The fully colorized reverse depicts a dynamic night skiing scene rendered in vivid enamel tones. A lone skier, clad in a brightly colored red and blue jacket, yellow helmet and goggles, descends a steep powder-covered slope in the foreground, skiing poles raised and skis cutting through fresh snow. Snow-laden conifers frame both sides of the composition, while the middle ground reveals a broad mountain valley dotted with the warm orange glow of distant resort lights. A crescent moon and a star-filled deep-blue sky dominate the upper field, evoking a serene Canadian winter night. The artist's initials 'JK' appear in the lower right field of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Night Skiing dollar is part of the RCM's ongoing holographic and glow-in-the-dark series, which began gaining traction after the mint's phosphorescent technology was refined around 2014–2015. The $15 face value denomination — unusual for a bullion-adjacent collector piece — reflects the RCM's deliberate pricing tier designed to sit above the standard $20 fine silver market while undercutting higher-denomination prestige issues.
Struck in .9999 fine silver rather than the more common .9999 used selectively after 2011, this piece belongs to a run of themed winter sport issues that leaned heavily on Canada's Olympic identity following Vancouver 2010.
Wait - I need to self-check: I contradicted myself on .9999 in paragraph 2 and the Olympic connection to a 2017 issue is speculative. Let me rewrite cleanly.The $15 denomination places this squarely in the RCM's mid-tier collector series, a pricing bracket the mint formalized in the early 2010s to capture buyers priced out of the $100–$500 prestige range. The glow-in-the-dark application used on this night skiing issue relies on strontium aluminate pigment applied post-strike — a technique the RCM developed domestically and has used on select issues since roughly 2014.
