Issued as part of the Royal Canadian Mint's long-running holiday collector series, this piece was struck during a year when the RCM briefly suspended public operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic — making the fulfillment of its collector subscription releases an exercise in skeleton-crew logistics. The Murano designation refers to the layered enamel technique applied to the reverse, not a reference to Venetian glassmaking tradition despite the name's obvious connotation.
