"When Calls the Heart" is a one hour television program which runs on the Hallmark Channel television network. It has been running since 2014. The series is set in a small Canadian town in the early 1900's and is about the lives of the residents.
 
The two main characters are Elizabeth Thornton, a young school teacher, and Nathan Grant, a "Mountie" or Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer.
 
This episode is titled "All That Glitters" and was first broadcast on April 19, 2025.
 
The program has several stories but the only one of numismatic interest occurs when store keeper Ned Yost and his wife Florence find that someone has paid them with an unusual gold coin which has a double-headed eagle design on it. Ned recognizes the coin as a rare coin and Rosemary Coulter, a newspaper reporter, publishes a story about the coin.
 
Only one side of the coin is shown and it has a simple design of a double-headed eagle and the date "1906".
