The catalog description[1] noted, "CANADA: Elizabeth II, 1952-2022, AR 20 dollars, 2016, KM-2213, Venetian Glass Angel, with Murano glass angel affixed to the reverse, amid winter scene in color, contains 1 troy ounce of pure silver, with COA and original Royal Canadian Mint case of issue, Proof. From the Royal Canadian Mint, 'Designed by Canadian artist Julius Csotonyi, this coin features a magnificently detailed winter scene. In the center of this coin lies the focus of the design: a beautiful glass angel flying high on large white wings, 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. Murano glass coins from the Royal Canadian Mint are highly sought after today for their beauty and collectability. Because the Murano glass angel has been fashioned by hand, each coin is unique.'"
