Summer crowns the Notrthern year.
After winter, the season of the nocturnal sun begins when Nordic nature is bathed in constant light. The Summer coin depicts the midnight sun reflecting a bridge onto water surrounded by cliffs. The phenomenon is due to the tilt of the earth’s rotation axis relative to its orbit. The scientific explanation is unable to fully communicate the magic of the midnight sun and summer though. The warmth, light and blooming nature of the North are worthy of their coin.
In the North nature is always near.
The Northern Nature coin series immortalises the most wonderful features of our diverse environment and celebrates the compatibility between nature and humankind.The Northern Nature coin series began in 2012 with the Flora, Fauna and Winter coins.
