Rising up from Parliament Hill in Ottawa—and from this coin’s surface, thanks to Ultra High Relief (UHR)—Canada’s Library of Parliament has stood as a beacon of democracy and learning since 1876. Its iconic dome and ornate stonework withstood the devastating fire of 1916, enduring as the sole surviving piece of the original Centre Block building. HST/GST Exempt. 

The Design:
Today, beneath the gaze of the iconic Peace Tower, the Library stands as an architectural marvel that continues to inspire Canadians on its 150th anniversary; it is a living testament to our shared pursuit of knowledge, democratic values, and cultural memory.
