Canada: 2014 $20 Stained Glass: Craigdarroch Castle Silver Coin

 Canada: 2014 $20 Stained Glass: Craigdarroch Castle Coin

Composition: pure silver

Finish: Proof

Design: The coin showcases a stunning colour partial reproduction of one of the stained glass windows that adorn Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria, B.C. The focal point of the design is the grouping of six brightly coloured flowers; each petal has been painstakingly filled by hand with blue, purple and red translucent enamel to recreate a stained glass effect. Green translucent enamel has been applied to the veined leaves, which provide foliar interest. The original window's diverging brick pattern has been replicated and adapted to a smaller scale, to fill the reverse image background.

Mintage: 7500

Packaging: Coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian maroon clamshell case. It is protected by a protective sleeve.
