The theme itself is weak.
If the coin was minted with the pieces of glass embedded, it could be interesting for people who collects unusual stuff on the coins.

Yes, here is the hand paint work, but it gives the coin look of the button or round.

Start the Canada Castles or the Provinces Floral emblems on top of the Pure Silver coin - will be good, but this projected to finish with low final mintage due to no demand.

A fitting start to the series. The coin like the house (castle?) is made for show with no substance, nothing innovative nor of historical importance.

The RCM endless amount of monthly releases of useless themes, yet they expect us to buy everything.

At first I thought this coin would actually have embedded stained glass on the surface, if it did I probably would have bought it.

as a pro stained glass artist since 1981 I think this coin is not remarkable..they should have chosen a nice old iconic church window instead or something historical from the parliament buildings...now its time for my nap

This is a really poorly executed idea, when comparing to other coins of this nature done by the Aussies. They done some very beautiful & expensive coins that are popular in Europe. I agree this series is a snooze fest!
