2014 Canada $20 Stained Glass: Craigdarroch Castle Silver (No Tax)
This striking enameled silver coin is the first in the Royal Canadian Mint's stunning Stained Glass series. It is a celebration of a unique heritage landmark, and the timeless beauty of Canada's most widespread form of public art.
The reverse image features 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 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. The original window's diverging brick pattern has been replicated to fill the reverse image background. The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
