From coast to coast, many of Canada’s public buildings are adorned with various artistic creations. With their ability to transform a single sunbeam into an array of dazzling colors, 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.
This is the second coin in the RCM’s visually striking Canadian Stained Glass coin series. Most of the surface of this coin is covered in translucent or opaque enamel, making the coin shine and reflect the light. The enamel is filled by hand to represent the stained-glass panels from the Toronto’s Casa Loma window.
THE COIN IS IN PERFECT MINT CONDITION AND COMES WITH ALL ORIGINAL MINT PACKAGING AND SERIALIZED COA

Casa Loma is a Gothic Revival style house and gardens in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a museum and landmark. It was built 1911-1914 as a residence for financier Sir Henry Mill Pellatt. The house cost about $3.5 million and took 300 workers three years to build. Casa Loma sits at an elevation of 140 meters (460 ft) above sea level. In the late 1920s, investors operated Casa Loma for a short time as a luxury hotel. During Prohibition it became a popular nightspot for wealthy Americans. In 1937 it was leased by the Kiwanis Club of West Toronto, later the Kiwanis Club of Casa Loma (KCCL), which managed Casa Loma for 74 years, until 2011. A 2006 advisory committee led by former MPP Ron Kanter, and its subsequent reports, recommended the city turn the castle's management over to a new "Casa Loma Trust"; however, a city manager's report in 2008 recommended extending the city's lease with KCCL for another 20 years, and in July 2008 it was renewed. In January 2014, the city entered a new long-term lease and operating agreement with Liberty Entertainment Group, led by President and CEO Nick Di Donato, which agreed to spend $7.4 million to continue castle's restoration, installing air conditioning, enhancing the special events and dining experience, and integrating new technology for school and cultural programming. The company's plans also include a fine dining facility. Due to its unique architectural character, The Casa Loma for a long time has been and remains a popular filming location for movies and television.
