With their ability to transform a single sunbeam into an array of dazzling colours, stained glass windows have captivated architects and artists alike. The Royal Canadian Mint proudly celebrates the timeless artistry of stained glass windows–one of Canada's most widespread forms of public art–with the introduction of its dazzling "Stained Glass" series of coins.
Special features:
• Most of the surface of this coin is covered in translucent or opaque enamel, making the coin shine and reflect light.
• The enamel, filling individual sections of the coin, is filled by hand to represent the stained glass panels from the window.
• The second coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting new "Stained Glass" series celebrating Canadian public art.
• Celebrate the rise of a distinctly Canadian artistic sensibility and the unmatched beauty of the McCausland dome in Toronto's Casa Loma.
