This unique coin is a monument to a Toronto landmark; featuring a gold-plated image of a bust of Cleopatra VII (one of the museum's very first acquisitions in the early 1900s) against a backdrop of the world-renowned Michael Lee-Chin Crystal addition to the initial building, this piece commemorates the 100-year legacy of the Royal Ontario Museum. The museum, one of the largest in North America, attracts over one million visitors per year, and is noted world-wide for its contributions as a field-research institution, conducting research that spans all corners of the globe. 40 varying galleries and over six million items within their collections contribute to the Royal Ontario Museum's global popularity. On the surface of this tributary coin, finely-crafted engraved details bring every glass window to life, while the bright 99.99% fine silver of the coin adds to the illusion of the glassy surface. This striking coin would make a fine addition to any collection of fine silver, or would be well-appreciated by any museum-lover in your life.
