Toronto:

• Dominating the skyline is the CN Tower, standing at 553.33 metres, the tallest freestanding structure in North America and a recognized Wonder of the Modern World.
• Each year, the CN Tower attracts over two million visitors, serving as a symbol of Toronto’s vibrant skyline.
• The gold-plated border of this stunning coin features key landmarks, including:
  • The Casa Loma, a historic Gothic Revival castle turned museum.
  • The Royal Ontario Museum, Art Gallery of Ontario, and Ontario College of Art and Design—premier cultural destinations.
  • The Ontario Legislature Building at Queen’s Park, home to the Legislative Assembly.
  • The Rogers Centre, the world’s first stadium with a fully retractable roof.
  • Toronto’s iconic twin curved City Hall buildings.
  • The Hockey Hall of Fame and the unique design of the Ontario Science Centre.

Utilizing an innovative minting process, this coin captures Toronto’s recognizable features with precision while maintaining the elegance expected of a fine proof coin. The Royal Canadian Mint has created its first 2-oz 99.99% fine silver coin, encapsulating the essence of one of the world’s great cities through cutting-edge technologies in cartography and satellite imagery.
