The second coin in the Royal Canadian Mint's exciting new "Stained Glass" series celebrating Canadian public art. Second of five coins in the "Stained Glass" series!
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.
The reverse image of this coin features a colour reproduction of the central disc of the McCausland stained glass dome in Toronto's Casa Loma. At the heart of the disc lies a raised polished silver circle framed with engraved rays. The image is divided into four quadrants by raised silver lines spanning from the central circle to the coin's raised outer rim. Each of the four lines bears a stylized cluster of nine purple grapes. These four clusters are separated from each other by dark green leaves set against a whimsically engraved lighter green palazzo-like background. A golden vine encircles the central portion of the image, winding its way around the coin from central curlicues that surround the central circle. The outer rim of the image is lined with alternating light green segments.
