1 Oz Silver Coin 2014 $20 Canada Stained Glass: Casa Loma Enamel Cross
The reverse image of this coin features a color
reproduction of the central disc of the McCausland stained
glass dome in Toronto’s Casa Loma. At the heart of the disc lies a
raised polished silver circle framed with engraved rays. The image is divided
into four quadrants by raised silver lines spanning from the central circle to
the coin’s raised outer rim. Each of the four lines bears a stylized cluster of
nine purple grapes. These four clusters are separated from each other by dark
green leaves set against a whimsically engraved lighter green palazzo-like
background. A golden vine encircles the central portion of the image, winding
its way around the coin from central curlicues that surround the central
circle. The outer rim of the image is lined with alternating light green
segments.
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.
