Two hundred years ago, the port of York (now Toronto, Ontario) was a hub of activity, but its peninsula (now Toronto Island) represented a significant hazard for mariners. In 1808, a lighthouse was built on the peninsula at Gibraltar Point. This historical building is brought to life on this fine silver collectable coin. Designed to withstand the winds of Lake Ontario, and equipped with a powerful, revolving light, Gibraltar was one of the best lighthouses in North America. After some 200 years of faithful service, the lighthouse of Toronto Island stands as the oldest existing lighthouse of the Great Lakes.
