The addition of a three-dimensional, glass depiction of an angel inspires the viewer to believe in the spirit of the angel through its message of peace. Created by master glassmakers in Murano, Italy, Venetian glass is highly prized for its clear, bright colours. Your coin has a limited mintage worldwide. About the Design: Designed by Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi, your coin features a magnificently detailed winter scene. In a small town nestled among the mountains and snow-covered evergreens, hearts and hearths are warmed by a festive feeling; while residents come together indoors to celebrate, others yet settle into their warm beds for a restful sleep. In the starry night sky above, the town’s amber lights cast a glow as beautifully engraved crystalline snowflakes gently fall to the ground. In the centre of the reverse lies the focus of the design: a stunning glass angel flying high on large white wings, resplendent with a vibrantly coloured blue robe and golden halo. Watching over the sleepy town, this angel presence infuses the scene with a peaceful, tranquil feeling that stirs the imagination with its message of peace, comfort and joy. Packaging: Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clamshell with a black beauty box. Order your coin today!
