RDC 2011 Canada $25 Toronto City Map 2oz. Gold Plated Silver (No Tax) impaired Cheap
Description
Capsule scuffed scratched, toning on obverse
Featuring a stunning bird s-eye relief view of one of Canada s great cities, this 60 mm silver coin combines exciting new technologies in both cartography and minting with the proven, centuries-old tradition of finely minted collectible coins.
Alive with microscopic three-dimensional detail, the coin presents a dynamic aerial portrait of Toronto as if zooming-in from space-the rounded, magnified image reminiscent of an astronaut s visor.
Toronto
Above this city of lofty buildings, second only to New York City in North America for its number of high-rises, soars the 553.33-metre CN Tower, North America s tallest freestanding structure and officially one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. It attracts more than two million visitors each year and is an icon of Toronto s skyline.
In addition to the CN Tower, this amazing coin s plated gold border features key Toronto landmarks, including the 98-room Casa Loma, an important early twentieth century Gothic Revival castle now used as a museum; the Royal Ontario Museum, Art Gallery of Ontario, and Ontario College of Art and Design-three of Canada s premier cultural destinations for knowledge-seekers, tourists, art-lovers, and artists alike; the Ontario Legislature Building at Queen s Park, which houses the province s Legislative Assembly; the former Skydome (now the Rogers Centre), which was the world s first stadium with a fully retractable motorized roof; Toronto s iconic twin curved City Hall buildings; the Hockey Hall of Fame; and the organic curves of the Ontario Science Centre.
Through an innovative new minting process, Toronto s recognizable details are transferred to the coin s surface without sacrificing the refinement expected of a fine proof coin. The Royal Canadian Mint s first 2-oz 99.99% fine silver coin encapsulates one of the world s great cities from an eyes-wide-open vantage point offered by premier technologies in cartography, satellite imagery, and networking-all using the latest advances in coin-making.
