The latest release in the Architectures of the World series is a breathtaking tribute to Santorini, Greece — a place known for its whitewashed buildings, bright blue domes, and spectacular views of the sea. This unique collectible coin is made from 2 ounces of pure silver and brings the beauty of the island to life in 3-dimensional detail.

It’s part of the Royal Canadian Mint’s International Program and was produced by CIT, known for its artistic coins.

This is the second coin in the Architectures of the World series. The first release, Rock of Monaco, was extremely well received and quickly sold out — making Santorini a must-watch for collectors.

A Little Piece of Greece You Can Hold

This coin is more than just silver — it’s like holding a miniature version of Santorini in your hand. The design shows the famous buildings of the island perched on a cliff, with blue roofs, white homes, and the deep blue Aegean Sea in the background.

What makes this coin special:

  • The surface is curved like a bowl, which adds depth and realism
  • The buildings are raised from the surface so they really stand out
  • The rooftops and sea are colored, while the rest stays in silver
  • The coin even includes the name “Θήρα” (Thira) — what the island is called in Greek
